I am a little torn between the two. I've just been fiddling around with different blending methods in an attempt to not lose the nebulosity in amongst the 25,000 stars while still being able to show just how many stars in the central region there is.

The example above is a simple "Max(A,B) function which is why the fainter regions are swamped by star nebulosity.
I've found that blending the nebulosity at 3x the strength as the stars helps bring the stars through with minimal nebulosity loss but I've still got a few more ideas to try this evening.
