The reason I like semi-starless images is because I consider the nebulous region more important to my sense of wonder - it may not be yours (well - it obviously isn't). Fred's M8 blew me away when I first saw it and still does now. I like the beautiful shapes gas forms - not all the dotty junk in between - that's just me though.
Yeh yeh I know, just joshing around. You are quite right, when the stars are not there your brain sees the nebulosity structure better.
