I have a 14" and it needs at least 30-60 mins to settle down in temperature before it gives sharp images.

I don't know what telescopes you are used to looking through, but remember that your lowest power eyepiece will still yield a very high magnification. Any atmospheric issues will be greatly exaggerated over say a 12" dob at half the mag using the same eyepiece.
