Yes, these were my initial thoughts as well when I was buying the scope.
But...
The fact that 12" gets almost 50% more light than 10" changed my thoughts and I bought 12" Bintel dob and never looked back.
I had a chance to compare 12" and 10" Dobs and I could notice slight difference.
After a while I saved and bought TeleVue eyepieces.
I am sorry to say this but when it comes to aperature bigger is better.
EQ6 will take 12" Dob too, but it would be more stable for astrophotography with 10", no doubts about it.
cheers
