DBK21 DBK31 and what is possible with a Dob

I have a 12.5" truss Newtonian and am keen to get some shots of Jupiter. I have a tracking platform on loan that works reasonably well, however, I find it a bit of a challenge to get the planets centred (the platform introduces a bit of whiplash). I am trying to decide between the DBK21 and 31.

2 questions:
1. Is it possible to get reasonable planetary images on a platform as opposed to a mount?
2. Would the 31 give me a bit more extra field and therefore make it easier to capture a sequence for processing?

Many thanks!

regards

David
