I'm pretty comfortable with using/collimating a newt now but I like the image quality and focal length of the rc's.

If I went for the newt it would be the 10" cf f4 from Skywatcher, cause it's light enough for the mount.
I retrofitted a secondary heater to my 10" newt, and it was very straightforward- but, at 3.8 micron pixels that camera is not a great match for the rc8, and is almost over sampling a 10".
Cheers,
Andrew.
