Don't forget the camera here. A f8 scope and a camera with 8micron pixels will gather exactly the same amount of light per pixel as the same aperture f4 scope and a camera with 4micron pixels. Both systems will have the same "speed".

Don't forget binning. Binning 2 x 2 effectively halves your focal ratio.
