The main reason I purchased the 20" was to view the faint fuzzies and obviously to get better views of the not so faint DSOs. I assumed I would also get more detail from planetary objects also but this is all interesting as there seems to be different takes on the subject.
I do remember going to Ian Bedfords Stockport SA observatory many years ago and seeing amazing views of Jupiter through his 30" Newtonian Cassergrain. I've never directly viewed such great views of Jupiter through a smaller telescope.
