Good Idea for a Second Scope?

Hi all, I purchased a 10 inch Dob about a year and a half ago based on the advice I received here. I've had it out heaps since then and have been amazed every time. Suzy posted a list of things I should see in a thread I started about the same time and I made sure to check them all out before doing my own hunting.

My point so far is: ten inch dobs are great beginner scopes!

I haven't really looked at other types of scope up until now, but I'm thinking about something that gives better views of planets. Seeing the moons of Jupiter as dots floating around makes me want a closer view of them. Same with the rings of Saturn.

Can you guys make any suggestions at what I should consider getting next? I'm open to all suggestions as I'm just testing the waters right now.

Thanks again guys!
