Go the larger aperture; you wont regret it and being the cheapest option means it's a no-brainer. GOTO is not essential and you can learn the sky as much if not more with charts.
To me $1,400.00 seems a bit expensive for an 8" GOTO.
The 12" of aperture will give you many more and much brighter galaxies than the 8" ever will. Globular clusters too will be far more impressive in the 12" as will planetary nebulae.
