For photometry and astronomy, the bigger aperture is very important. Resolution is proportional to diameter of the scope so you will get more accurate astronomy. The big scope obviously collects much more light so you can measure much fainter objects for photometry or astronomy with the bigger scope compared to the little refractors.
As for the difference between the C11 or the RC10 I can't really comment as I have not used either scope.
