Comes down to your budget and you can't beat a newt dob for bang for buck. If i was to buy a first scope and had the money it would be a goto 8" dob, if really tight for cash or not sure on the hobby a 6" dob, then a 8". I wouldn't start with a 10" again because moving it about can be a turn off as a beginner, yer the first few weeks your all over it but then you start thinking can i be bothered lifting this thing out side. My wife has a 12" goto dob for planetary and pub viewing nights, why the views are unreal it's something she never really uses around the home because of size and weight. The best scope we had was the 6" dob and now we plan to get another because it's so quick, light and easy to use. I mean with a 6" you can be watching tv and then just go i might take a peek pick the thing up with your eye piece case and be straight into it.
