OK, let me temper my initial response a little... the 12" may be better than the
10" at keeping collimation; and it also depends on how much you move it. I
routinely move mine back and forth between home in Colo Spgs and my ranch in the
Wet Mtns (where the dark skies are awesome!) I don't mistreat it! - but it
inevitably gets jostled around, especially on the back road into the property.

Plus, I like to tweak it to get those razor sharp images... but it could be an
inherent birth defect that I have (I like to fiddle with things...)

If you're happy with the performance, by all means don't mess with it!
