Well geez, is it?. Depends what yr after doesnt it?.
Not to say a 10"f3.8 isnt great, if you like that kind of FOV thing.
But.
A 10" f3.8 950mmFL with an ST11k at bin 1 gives a 1.95 arc/secs image scale.
A 14" C14HD at f11 3850mm FL with an ST11k at bin 3 gives a 1.44 arc/sec image scale.
A nice large 14" (over 10") with a very tasty close up FL and low noise, big signal bin3 sub might strike some as somewhat preferable perhaps ?
