    If you feel fit enough,  i would say go for the 12", i was planning to upgrade my 8" DOB until 40+ years all weather biking caught up with me, my Dob n Newt were causing neck ache, im now  enjoying a 4" Mak n Frac with no aches, my advice, if your back is good go for the big one while you still can.

    The push-on knob for the 127 is available in the UK here:

    I couldn't say if the 102 and 127 have the same size focuser knob.

    The alternative is a clothes peg on the focuser knob, move the end with a finger and it's more sensitive than twisting the knob directly.

    i bought the knob in the link above, unfortunately  it doesnt fit the 102, the OD is too big, not enough room between the knob and the visual back.
