I think you are on the right track. Light pollution makes star hopping both easier and harder, easier as there are fewer stars to confuse, harder as some stars get wiped out. So if you have any serious LP Go To is an option. And it will maximise your viewing time and the tracking makes sharing a scope easier for you and your partner.
Having said that aperture rules, so amke sure you get the biggest scope you can 1. afford and 2. handle.
You will need some $$$ left over as within a few weeks you will back at the shop buying eyepieces, coliimation tools etc. so leave some in the piggy bank.
From what I have seen and heard the 10" SW is a fine scope and will give lots of nice views, so if you think its the scope for you, go for it!
