Hi Warren,
Many of us have some trouble carrying gear outside. I have a GSO 12" dob and have to get it out 2 doors and down several steps. I do it in 2 trips, but it's a struggle. Perhaps some sort of trolley or wheels which can be fitted to tripod legs or dob bases might alleviate the pressure on your spine, so you don't have to lift and carry, just roll it out. Ramps can help also, but it depends on the layout of your house.
Whether to keep the 10" depends on whether you want to do imaging or visual. A 10" on an EQ6 is a big beast to set up compared to an ED80. For visual use, nothing beats aperture. Good luck, Paul.
