Alex,
For the short time I’ve had my 10” newt (1280mm focal length) the one thing that stands out , at least in my experiences , is that they are not as forgiving as a shorter focal length scope ( like my 6” newt 900mm focal length) with regards to seeing conditions and ultimately resolution and image fidelity.
To get the best out of my 10” , seeing needs to be really good ( stable ) to achieve the type of results you expect from a bigger scope.
So in my experiences, bigger is not always better , it has its limitations like everything else in this hobby, but when conditions are good it shines.
I reckon try to master what you have in your kit and that may save you time as time is precious to all of us.
My 6” , 8” and 10” Newts are my scopes for life ( I don’t want or need anything more )
Best Always
Martin
PS: I take my hat off to folk who image at 2000mm to 3000mm ( I certainly haven’t the time , patience or skill to venture into that territory)
