Hi Marcel,
No, not a politician, so, YES you CAN trust me.
If you are camping, in a nice dark sky, you will want the bigger 10" tube to see more and take advantage of the better night sky. The other advantage of the dobsonian 10" over the 4.5" is that its TWICE the aperture and MUCH easier for everyone to use (including the wife and kids) so you can ALL fight over it when looking at cool stuff.
As for Andrews Comms, my experiences have ALL been positive, that's where I bought my 12" Skywatcher DOB from. Also, Saxon is the same manufacturer with a different name on it.
Go for the 10" from Andrews Comms at $599, its well worth the money and from my own experience and also others here and reviews in Australian Sky and Telescope, the optical quality of these scopes is very good.
I am not affiliated with Andrews Comms or any other vendor/shop by the way.
Cheers
Chris
