You seen Dennis' Jupiter captured with the 9.25? About the best Jupiter image I've seen with a scope in the 8-12" bracket. Better than a lot with larger aperture too! IMO

As you say Matt, seeing is king..
Obviously the scope makes a difference, and the C925 is no slouch in that department, as proven by Damien Peach. But on a night of fantastic seeing that Dennis obviously had, I think anything in the 8-16" range would've produced an incredible image.
Wes Higgins (arguably one of the finest lunar imagers in the world) does his imaging with a servocat driven 18" starmaster (newtonian).
I don't think there's an ideal - the best at their art will pull the best images within the limitations of their equipment.
