Yes, there are:
1. You will have to assemble and dissemble the setups to rotate between different FoV/fX. Unless you plan to stay rather stationary for extended periods. Lurking danger here is that, once novelty wears of and you become lazy, you will just stick with one setup.
2. With Hyperstar you will not be able to do visual and AP at the same time, but I stand to be corrected.
Many people dont care doing both at the same time, many do want to stay connected with the sky. I can make nice, detailed picture of Jewel Box that goes weeeell beyond my eyes resolution. But still, direct visual observation of the same cluster looks waaaaay better, for me. It is like watching fireworks vs watching video recording of fire works. Two completely different experiences.
