Just kidding
Personally i find the closeup looking much better with loads more detail.
For galaxies a long focal length is better.
The apo would be better suited for wide field work (unless you get a ED80 ).

But as i said this is just me.

Thanks Martin for your comments

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think you have a flt132 ?

Also if they are both same exposures the large is noticeably smoother in the background than the smaller... Any reason?
Detail in the 10" I expected to be better but the 10" is actually worse in the background for correction by flats than the 127mm as Ive been experimenting with various ADU values for my flats and light box with the QSI.
