Scope choice

Gday all,,I've recently decided to return to the fold.I'm going to convert my garden shed into a permanent obs. I used to own a 8" LX90 which i LOVED and am currently looking at either a 10" or 12" LX200 or maybe even a 10" LX200RC. What are your thoughts on a RC compared to a SCT? Should i forget the 10" scopes and just get a 12" SCT. I will be getting into a bit of Astrophotography but mostly just veiwing. Any ideas? Thanks all,,,,,Mat
ALSO am i correct in assuming that a 12" will not give me more magnification compared to a 10", BUT will let more light in allowing for more magnification using my EP's?
