also,

I know that the ST10 model has 17% more area than the ST8 but because it has 6 micron pixels compared to th 8's 9micron size would this make the ST 8 more sensitive but at a cost of resollution?

Would the ST8 suit my long focal lenght 12R better than the ST10 or would it not be too much in it other than area?

I note that the ST10 seems to be the perfect companion to a nice Apo.
Is the less resolution going to make much difference in my location in Brisbane?
I am mainly interested in imaging galaxies so maybe I will need larger pixels for sensitivity? but then more resolution may be whats needed as well.

Thoughts on the two would be a great help in deciding.

Regards Matt.
