You can settle the size issue once and for all pretty
easily. I agonized between the 8" and the 10" as well, so I
put my bathroom scales in the kitchen and proceed to pick
up, walk around, and weigh myself with most of my small
furniture. It turned out I have a stereo speaker thats
similar in size and weight to the 8" (37 pounds). I then
added weight to make it the same as the 10" (61 pounds).
This convinced me to get the 8" (Ive got a bad back), and
Im not sorry. Visually, of course, the 10" would be
better. The general rule is get the biggest you can afford
AND lift.
