I chose an Orion GOTO Dob because amongst the mass produced telescopes I think they are the best engineered and constructed Dobs on the market. I still consider that true after a couple of years worth of comparisons. Although there is little difference to Skywatcher Dobs which are also of good quality.
But it is unfair to compare the 10" Skywatcher to a 12" Orion on performance, because the 12" will be a little better.
Which scope would suit you better in the long run? It boils down to whether you can handle the size of the 12". That means moving it around and transporting it to dark sites. If so, definitely jump at the 12" and you won't look back.
