Hi Max,
I'm a noob who's just setup an 8in newt on an AZ-EQ6 so for what they're worth, my thoughts...
8in or 10in won't make much difference to the mounts performance. The issue is more the general one re using a newt for AP. I suspect that keeping the weight of all the attachments to a minimum is essential and limiting.
The mount itself has impressed me so far but of course there's been no sight of octans yet to polar align accurately. Setup to work from Stellarium was pretty easy (once I changed the cheap blue tooth to serial port).
I say go for it considering the price for the aperture. Or wait til the sky clears and I'll post some pics.
Cheers
Clint
