Small portable scope of the types discussed here are no replacement for a 10" dob, they are just too different in light grasp and give totally different results.
I started with a 10" dob same as yours and bought an ed80 as a second scope. I was very disappointed in the limited light grasp of such a small scope and it really brought home to me that 'aperture rules'.

I then bought this and immediately put the ed80 for sale after seeing the difference a bit more aperture gives.
