My first telescope was a 6" and I still have it and use it.. The brighter views in an 8" are noticeable and if I had the money I would have bought an 8" back then. However, I have been very happy with what the 6" telescope has shown me over the years and I think you will be too.
A 6" telescope was once considered the smallest serious telescope for the budding astronomer and you can certainly do some serious observing with it.
