The binos you ordered are fantastic. You'll love them. I agree with Malcom too, a good tripod and tripod adaptor is needed to get the most out of them. It doesn't take long to get shaky arms holding up the weight of that much glass. (I'd love to have a pair of binos that size )
It's the little scope that you will find disappointing.
It's aperture is only marginally larger than one half of your binos.!!
The only objects you will see through the scope are a hand full of nebulae, the brighter planets, a couple of galaxies and the moon.
With the 8 or 10" dob the night sky will open up like a smorgasbord.
