Hi Peter, Having owned a QHY8Pro and now owning a QHY10 I can say both are very good cameras for the price. The smaller pixels of the QHY10 definitely suit the shorter focal length of the ED80 and 12 better than the 8pro but I wonder about the C8. The increase in resolution of the 10 MP QHY10 allows smaller detail to be captured and resolved and with it's deeper wells at 45K gives a bit more exposure before stars are fully saturated.
I made the step up to the 10 but have yet to get much of a chance to try it out.
My thoughts would be to go for the newer tech of the 10 but I was also very happy with the 8 pro.

6MP up to 10MP is quite a jump and worth the expence.
