Hey Rastis
I bought a 10 " dob as my first scope. The views are fantastic through them. Ive sold mine now and got a smaller scope lx90.. Of course i have noticed the drop in aparture, galaxies are quite a bit fainter. But i dont mind as photography is much easier.
The reason i sold the dob was its size. I often go to friends places to observe and also head up the hill for day-time viewing. The dob was just to big,hard to fit in the car and no fun to carry up and down hills.Just think about where you will be observing and future portability. If the dob fits, go for it
Good luck
