It is not madness to start with a 10".  In my mirror making classes, 10"
is a popular size to start with.  It is just an overgrown 6". 
Everything will take a little longer, though, and you will want to make
sure to keep the edge beveled and to rotate the bottom piece religiously
every 5-15 minutes to fastideously avoid a hint of astigmatism.

Willman-Bell and others have complete 10" kits, though you can save $ by
scrounging for yourself.
