Each of the manufactureres for DOB's are relatively the same, most have flaws in some area but the optics are generally the same.

I think bec you had bino's before it may be a different experience to use 1 eye instead of two which is some thing I am missing.

For light gathering the 8" should be far better. my 12" nearly blinded me last night, (Moon Viewing) but at least there is a 2" hole in the cap.

The only thing I have not experienced is lense technology. They come with fairly standard lense. I am currently looking at wide field but that is a lot of money for me.
