Be aware that Andrews is presently running their 10% off sale (until the 20th), so all GSO and Skywatcher dobs in stock are marked down. Andrews is usually lower cost than Bintel in normal pricing as well.
Now i have owned both a 10" and 12" GSO dobs, and they are good value, with excellent mirrors for the cost. I used a hand truck to move them around at home, so weight wise that was not a factor. If your going to a dark site, the 10" is easier to transport in a vehicle and to load and unload. A Skywatcher collapsible model offers some advantage in handling during transport. Just remember that Seeing conditions determine how often the 12" will give you better views.
