Get the 10". As much as I enjoy my 12" you can pretty much see everything a 12" can in a 10". Just a bit dimmer. You will however notice the size and weight difference. Which is actually quite substantial.
Apart from wide field observing. The 10" will eat your 60mm alive. The 10" is such a substantial size gain in light gathering power its views will amaze you anyway. You don't need the 12".
Your back will thank me when your unloading your 10" from your car.
Some may argue. And they are right of course, that objects with high surface brightness like globular clusters and faint open star clusters resolve better. There's a number globs in Winter sky where this is the case. But, the view in the 10 is still great.
