You have definitely taken the better route starting with the 8" over the 12". It all comes down to portability and easy of setup. In the early days an 8" is more likely to get setup than a 12" because it is easier to move around. For your first scope you don't want to have that feeling of "I want to set up but cannot be bothered"
