Yup it may be a factor in how often you will bother to look. Having said that, many people put smallish scopes on heavy cumbersome eq mounts which makes them a whole lot less portable and convenient than a simple dob or other alt-az mounted scope.

Perhaps a reasonable Apo might be the go. Although would I see any more than with my ETX 125? Don't know much about Apo's and have never looked through one. Any feedback would be great.

How much you will see is determined by the ability of the scope to collect light.
In other words the greater the aperture, the more you will see. You will see more in a 150mm newtonian than in an etx 125 or a 4 or 5 inch apo on dso's simply because you are collecting more light and delivering it to your eyeball.
