The problem with using a RC for visual is that it has a huge secondary mirror. Great for imaging but it drastically reduces the contrast when used visually. A 8-10" newt will be FAR better to use visually, easier to collimate (I haven't actually attempted collimating a RC but I have heard about it) but you will need to get a coma corrector for imaging.
