To Dob or not to Dob is the question!

I'm taking a quick step back 2 weeks ago before I bought my 8" Skywatcher Newt.

My question is if astrophotograpy isn't part of my viewing adventures then for the same (probably a bit less) money would've a 10" Skywatcher Dob the way to go?

I believe collimation is still a small issue with both but as far as being a little more portable, better viewing? and easier to move around the sky with as the newt eye-piece can end up in really awkward positions then the Dob is maybe what I should and can still (maybe) make a swap for?

Appreciate your thoughts and comments
