Geoff,

No you dont have to buy a 16"... well it's really up to you. I've had my 8" for
4 maybe 5 years now. Over that time I have had the chance to observe
through quite a few scopes ranging from 60mm refractors to 30" reflectors.
To me the suttle differences in objects seen through a 12" as opposed to an
8" that buying a 12" really isn't going to be a big wow factor. This isn't
to discredit a 12" in any way. The jump to 16" will suit me better.

regards,CS
