I imaged a lot on the 500-600mm FL ball park with different size scopes. With aperture comes better resolution on small details and obviously less time involved in data acquisition. Some of the issues with bigger aperture are collimation, thermal equilibrium, more prone to seeing conditions, weight, etc...
But in the end aperture will always give you more resolution that you just won't get with smaller systems even at the same image scale.
