Great thread.
I went for the 10" GSO and I can see quite a few differences compared to the Skywatcher - have a look at how the secondary mirror is mounted for one.
I swapped the plossl's for Orion Expanse eyepieces and still use them today 2 yrs later. I would avoid a Barlow and get another eyepiece instead - say a 6mm, 9mm and 20mm.
Whatever you decide the 10" dob is a great way to get started.
