I was comparing what I'd owned and used Brendan. In my particular observing conditions the C11 provides better DSO views due to greater light gathering which I can filter more severely, even if the 10" dob was sharper.
While a newtonian in general will produce a better image than a SCT, I feel you're being a bit one-eyed and exaggerating the differences
