Does this make sense? Is anyone able to shed any more light? HELP!
The 12" will shed more light! The 10" is more portable. Are you going to take the scope to dark areas? If so. will it fit into your car? A 10" F5 will comfortably lie across the back seat of a car, as 12", maybe not. There ia also the weight factor and the size factor to to take into account when carrying your scope. On deep sky objects the 12" wins (Omega Cen is a wow!) There are so many variables that whichever you choose will be the best and the worst.
Sorry for the confusion, I have a 14" truss scope and would not change down to a smaller size in spite of the slog to get it setup.
