10" vs 12" Dob

Hi all,

As I get closer to selecting my first telescope, I've come to an interesting fork in the road... do I get the 10" Dob (as I had originally planned) or push myself that little bit extra now for the 12"?

Do I spend $700 or $1000? Is the extra $300 worth 2" more? Will I spend $700 now and want the 12" in another 6 months? Am I better off having that $300 to spend on eyepieces or a Telrad finder? Is the 12" really that much more difficult to cart around?

Any guidance would be appreciated...
