Andy,
Welcome. Just to clarify what has been said about them being the same. They are exactly the same scope. Bintel puts a bintel sticker on theirs and the other shop doesn't. They are both a GS 880 10" Dob.
A 10" will last you possibly the rest of your viewing life unless you want to change across to a guided scope, but the dollar bracket is very different. It is really up to how much you are prepared to spend. If you can lash out 3 or 4 grand get the computerised go-to superscopes. If you want to stay under $1000 the dob is perfect.
There is a lot to consider apart from dollars to. Reflector vs Refractor vs Cassegrain, Astrophotography vs viewing etc. etc.
Try to get along to a society or club and check out the differences.
