10" Trust-tube Dob is $1.147

Even if I rounded it up to $1.15, its a no brainer go for the 10" its a bargain
On a serious note, if your definitely going down the truss/collapsible path, go the 10", if the budget stretches go 12".
If portability/weight is not an issue, consider a 10" full tube GSO dob. You could save yourself a few bucks with the optics more or less identical. However, be warned, it can be cumbersome to lug around.
I'm currently borrowing a mates 8" full tube dob. Great scope, but a royal pain when carting from the lounge room to backyard. Its not so much heavy as being the problem just a tad cumbersome. Always cautious of bumping into things.
BTW: I live in Ashfield, so its probably no much better than Manly and Jup/Venus wasn't too bad for viewing.
