Hi Rinny,
My first scope was a 10" and I've never regretted it and if you're like the rest of us you'll end up with size fever with bigger is always better (don't necessarily agree myself but...). Take the advice given by a few people here. Get to a good shop and go along to star parties or dark sky nights with a local astro society. Look through them and make an informed determination. Transport of a large scope is problematic. I owned a little Hyundai Excel when I brought my first scope, got everything in except the wife who had to stay home. Good luck.
