Looks like were both in similiar situations, im doong same. Thinking about a 10" to start off with. From what ive seen though it polishes up very well!!!

Thats what I might do, go with the 10". I picked up a 7" from harbor freight yesterday and cut into a few pieces but wasn't too impressed by what I found(just have to keep cutting...I suppose). I cut the one in the 6th picture and it was just limestone with speckled agate. kinda looks like an uncooked chocolate chip cookie. The 7" did not give me much cutting depth. I knew I would only be able to cut my small pieces with such a small blade, but im pretty impressed with the cheapo, it cuts very well and smooth. I'll get some pictures up later of what I cut yesterday. Tumbling those peices might be my best bet to get nice results from what I've collected.
