I am very much a beginner still, but reading these posts is funny. From what I have gathered when talking about dobs lets assume all from the same company, The larger the better. Obviously larger scopes mean heavier and more expensive. If you think you can store and manage the cumbersome 12 inch scope then it will undoubtably give you better views than an 8 inch.

The guy with the 12 inch scope is going to loathe the view from an 8 inch and the guy up the road from him with the 16 inch will tell you that the 12 inch is useless.

It all comes down to what you can afford, what fits in your shed/house, and if you are a bodybuilder or have a forklift handy.
