Dont make the mistake of equating magnification with "power"; its misleading. As Jason indicated, there will be precious few nights when the atmosphere is stable enoungh to use that kind of magification and there are other problems; your image will become fainter and harder to track for example. If you want to increase "power" then you have to increase the size of the optics because resolving power is a function of light grasp.
