I couldn't agree more. Only you can decide, Vincent, if 8x10 is just right, or whether a different format works better, but it sounds as if you should give it a go. Then you can reconcile dreams to reality. Perhaps you're able to rent an 8x10 and related equipment for a few days, or alternatively buy a less expensive model that you may be able to sell for pretty much what you paid if it's not right for you?
