These are questions only you can answer for yourself.. For some, a 10 inch is too big, for some, a 20 inch is not big enough.
John's questions are good one and I would add: What is you want to look at with your big Dob?" What are you hoping to see that you are currently not able to see with your current scopes?
How much experience do you have with Dobs? Enough to know that you enjoy the Dob experience, not everyone does?

Ernie buddy,
Too small would be a Stargazer Steve 3-inch.
Too large would be an Obsession 36
All the best everyone!
