I believe it is quite difficult to accurately predict the degree of sacrificing resolution with a smaller telescope-small pixels combo vs large telescope-large pixels combo, because there are many variables, and in the end our pretty astronomical images are subjected to our subjective minds that may or may not like this or that. No doubt a larger scope-larger pixels setup on average allows to go deeper, so for me it is a question of what I can afford without the need of selling my kidneys, and I would rather go for a scaled down but reliable and of good quality setup for astrophotography, rather than a large telescope-large pixels combo but with say inferior filters, focuser flexing or poor guiding that requires baby sitting and frequent tweaking in order to get good data.
