Rob Its great that you are happy with the way your scope performs now but I have a question.
Did you ever check your old secondary mounting for pinching or astigmatism?
If you are seeing a huge difference in image quality I would suspect that something was wrong in your old setup other than a bigger C.O. alone.
I saw somewhere simulations of planetary images with various sized central obstructions and the difference between 20% and 25% was very subtle indeed.
In short, It's well worth checking the existing setup for issues and then a new GS secondary only costs about $50.
