Cheers tandum - that really puts things into perspective. I should mention that my eyesight is not brilliant - very short-sighted with poor night-vision compounded by a fuzziness not unlike TV static across my field of vision (had this since childhood). This means, practically speaking, that when a dark sky impresses some people to their naked eye, I am not quite as impressed without, at least, binoculars.
That's the only reason I am still going to sleep on this 10"/12" question. I shall be decided in the next week or so.
Also interested in other people's opinion on how my vision affects my choice of aperture, and what people think I should get accessory-wise to begin with.
