C9.25 vs C11 for planetary imaging

Hi All, no doubt this is a very subjective question, but would welcome any opinions as to which scope C9.25 or C11 you feel is best for planetary imaging. I guess all else being equal, aperture would win, but I understand that the 9.25 is configured in a slightly different way that provides some specific advantages - certainly I haven't seen any planetary images posted on the various forums I frequent from C11s that appear any better or more detailed than any 9.25 images (sometimes the reverse). I wondered whether thiis is really due to the design of the 9.25 or more due to the limitations of seeing that restrict times when the C11 will really shine and also perhaps the fact that more people have 9.25's by virtue of their more compact size and price?

cheers,
