6 Inch F8 Refractor or 8 Inch F6 Dobsonian

I currently own a 6 inch aperture F8 Celestron achromatic refractor. I have been thinking about buying a 8 inch F6 Dobsonian for better light gathering. Has anyone compared the two on deep space objects? Read that there is not much difference in brightness of objects between a 8 inch and 10 inch Dob. I really do not want to deal with the weight etc of a 12 inch Dob.


Is the 8 inch Dob worth it? Thanks to you all
