Hi
I have a HEQ5-Pro and I think it's great, my only comment is that I really think that an 8" is about as big as you can go on one.
If your seriously looking at using a 10-12" Newt then you would really need to upgrade an go to a EQ6-Pro but there's a big difference in price from buying a HEQ5-Pro on special and using your 8" to buying a 10-12" AND a EQ6-Pro (or better eg. Losmandy)
Something to think about ..
ps. Astroboy ftw
