You will love it. I have gone from a 5.25" Newt on a wabbletronic EQ2 mount to an 8" dob and then to a 12" dob. Each upgrade has brought me more joy in the views afforded.
A 10" is a great starting point as there wil be hundreds of objects easily found, it is easy to use and setup. Try to get to a dark sky site or a star party (Qld Astrofest?)where it will really shine.

The only thing you will need to learn is collimation but once learnt is is really easy to do

PS you have made the right choice!!
