Well, the first step has been taken....
Peter (Hickny) put me on to a 12" GSO at Andrews (thanks again Peter) that needs recoating. The price was right, so I grabbed one (Andrews actually had three...) and took it off to Isaac Qin here in Sydney. As he explained, sometimes the GSO mirrors need refiguring before recoating, so it was a bit of a nervous wait until Isaac could remove the old coating and see what the situation was. Luck was with me, all that needs to be done is the recoating, so I'll now have a nice GSO mirror with Isaac's excellent coating and protective coat.
So, it's a 12" for me. Probably the best way to go for my first build, and I'm happy to follow the path of least resistance. It'll still be a few months before things can get going, but I've at least got a start on the project...
