My view is that aperture is a factor. I love my 8" f5 Newt with MPCC, good crisp images, it's fast, collimates, handles and balances easily on my EQ6.

At 10" or larger, I would choose an RC, from both the size and setup viewpoints, although you pay a premium for that convenience.

My next scope will probably be an RC10 for deeper DSO work.
