Hi Mick,
welcome.
I have a 10" dob/newt, have had it for ages, it is a sweet size, not too big, but big enough, good choice.
The eyepieces will do the trick, there is plenty of time to go better if and when you feel you need to.
I can't help with the difference between the two brands you list, but others will be able to help here. Is there not a scope dealer locally, in Brisbane?
Another option is to get along to any of the star parties in your area, a great way to soak up information on what others have got and are using.
Failing that, and better still, keep an eye on the For Sales right here, there are often very good bargains where people have elected to sell.
