Nice to have choice but I'd still recommend to get the 8" with accessories, and more accessories later as you find out what you want and what pisses you off (things like dew for ex.), and later still get the 12". The cost of the 8" is only a fraction of the cost of the 12" + accessories, but the 8" is much more versatile than the 12 (easily fits through a doorway for starters). Unless you have your own observatory / dedicated scope shed, you will not use the 12" as much as you would the 8". Naturally, if this is a purchase with the sole purpose of treating a severe case of APERTURE fever, then normal rules of conduct no longer apply and you've gotta go with the biggest monster you can afford.
