It's a shame that your comment didn't get any traction Matt, it was probably the best piece of advice given in this thread. iirc) the article Mel wrote on this subject was derived from a fairly lengthy discussion amongst members on the old ATM list. I think it was around 1999 or 2000 and should still be in the archives if that helps.
As you intimated earlier, there are legitimate reasons why a 6" f5 Newtonian is close to the optimum rich field instrument. There is one configuration that is demonstrably better though. That being a 6"f5 Newtonian binocular with coma correctors.
best,
