You'll need more opinions to help you decide. I'm no expert - I've had one telescope (8" dob reflector) and only since March this year. I'm loving it and I keep tweaking it with improvements.
You can do lots of "hunting" with it, but without a "goto" or "pushto" system, I won't say finding things can be done with "relative ease" Depends how good you are at looking at the sky, comparing with maps, then star hopping through your eyepiece. Though I plan for a Argo Navis system in my future, I think I should spend some time searching and hunting for objects until I learn the sky much, much better that I know it now.
ps. collimating an 8" or 10" reflector - same effort, no difference.
