The equipment you already have I imagine is a little on the awkward side to set up/take down. You would definately notice the difference with owning a truss Dob in that department. The 12 is a fine instrument, but please give the 10 a chance. Such rapid cool down time, ease of handling, and plenty of aperture with great contrast were what led me to decide on the 10. On the test night, the 10 was the first scope of the four present to cool down, and the one that three of us always seemed to return to. On a scale of one to ten, I would rate the 12 as 8, and the 10 at, you guessed it,10. The ability of the 10 to handle seeing conditions better was also evident. Great allrounder.
