There is nothing wrong with getting some star charts and learning the night sky, will be invaluable when you get your scope.
With a 6" versus an 8", the larger scope will definitely show you more. One question is where do you live If you have dark skies the difference will be less than if you cope with light pollution.
An 8" dob is virtually the standard beginners scope these days, will get you all the Messiers, decent planetary views, hundreds of NGC objects easily seen.

PS I had a wobbletronic Saxon EQ scope (the next size up from the one you asked about) and I fully endorse JJ's and Brians comments!
