Combining good data with average data

I'm attempting to do a multinight shot of the same target and one thing I've noticed is my first night I was getting far better results than my second, however I only have 1 hour of data from the first night and 3 hours from the second.

The data from the second night is significantly more washed out (the moon is out now). Certainly when looking at single frames the first night was great, and the second night is very average.

This got me thinking that there's a point where it no longer makes sense to keep capturing data as the stacking process would result in your good frames getting dulled by the bad. Is my thinking right? Is it worth augmenting good data from a perfect night with data from an average night?

Guess I'll stack two different attempts and process them separately tomorrow and see what happens. Bit of an experiment.
