The up side of course is improved resolution and it's worth it IMO

Someone needs to try a hyperstar equipped C8, 11 or 14...or a Meade 10" or 12" with a good OSC or a FLI/QSI/SBIG on the larger scopes. Just imagine a C14 at f/1.8 - f/2.0....nice widefield and whopping light gathering capability, especially compared to a 6" refractor. Even if you had a 40% obstruction, you'd still be gathering far more light than a good refractor could
