The imaging time changes a little. but your right that its practically the same.

6" 762mm vs 8" 1016mm = about 1.788x times the light collecting area but the image is 33.33% more zoomed in, so ends up about 0.5% brighter / less imaging time needed

Edit: I fogot that zoom deltas are a square. e.g. 5x zoom is 25x smaller area.
