For me a big part of the observing experience is about being out under the stars

I think your example is wrong. I am not hiring a fisherman to catch a fish and do the work for me and then claim the fish as my own. I do everything myself.

It is more like going on a fishing trip and having a choice of either a 3m tinnie or a 30m yacht. I have never been fishing, but I am sure I'll take the yacht as a more comfortable experience.
