Objects 9 degrees lower in the sky at Bortle 2 will show more detail than higher with Bortle 6 as long as the declination is south of -50 decl so the Double Cluster you'll miss anyway also in suburban ADL. But objects as California Neb NGC 1499 (decl -36) will show better in Tasmania @ Bortle 2.
But in Dec/Jan you will miss 30mins of dark sky due to longer daylight.
