I'd like bigger image scale but the 5x powermate seems to push the 10" way past it's limit. Or the conditions have to be so close to perfect as to make the powermate useless.

Mark, I think the first image of these two is better. The 5x Powermate with a filter wheel and then your DMK will be delivering 7x. It not only gives you more magnification of the object but also magnifies all of the disturbances in the atmosphere by the same amount. With the 5x Powermate the collimation of your scope is super critical as is the temperature difference between ambient and your primary mirror.
