No reason to drool, in fact there is no gain except for imaging where a large aperature scope is going to benifit you in a suburben sky.
I had a 20" Obssession and a 10" LX200 and for visual, really didnt do anything much. I now have a 22" and still, only benefit is imaging, unless you can go to a dark site.
Plus you also have the problems of coma which will waste most light as it spreads its focus over a large area. You then need to spend money on coma correctors on top of this.
A 16" is about the limit for a good scope for suburben skies, anything else is really benefiting imaging.
I once also wished for a large scope, now that i have it, i use my 14" 10 to 1 more times over the 22".
Leon got it right, "Its how you use it that counts", and thats spot on.
