I loved the 12" mirror on my dob, but for me, having a trackable 8" scope which stays on target, I can't honestly say there is much difference to my eye apart from a dimmer image and slightly less detail, BUT that is comparing an 8 to a 12!!
The difference between a 10 and a 12 will be not much at all and the convenience of the smaller tube and goto will make up for the difference in money and wow factor.

Sorry Chris, the difference is in the amount of light gathering and the surface area of the 12" mirror is 44% more than the 10". Can be important if you are chasing faint fuzzies.
