I do have both a 12" and 8" Dob (and a 10" SCT, and an ED80). The one that gets used most of the time, because it's easy to handle and use is the 8". The ED80 gets used to look at birds in the bush from my verandah, and the moon. It's useless visually for anything else.
Sorry, that's the last time I'll dare try and give a beginner my (what I thought might be helpful) opinion.
