I would chose the 10 inch. Ive looked through one recently and the views and the tracking was impressive. Due to the focal length the 10 inch will give wider views.

The views weren't as bright as my 12" but its also a considerably smaller scope. Much easier for packing up into your car and taking it to a dark site.

Of course, the 8" is handy for travel too. Even more so then the 10". Another thing to consider regarding the CPC8 is that if an electrical issue or software error occurs your scopes useless. If your battery runs out in the field its also done. The 10" Dob works fine without electricity if something goes wrong in the field. Its probably a moot point. But, I always think about these sort of things when I decide my equipment choices.
