Binoviewer Question

I am possibly interested in a binoviewer. I will use it primarily for planetary observing (my skies aren't very dark). I will be using an AR 6 and possibly an as yet undetermined (and unpurchased) smaller grab & go.

I'm interested in increasing observing comfort and avoiding the incredibly annoying floaters!

The reviews I have read generally dealt with larger aperture scopes. Is a 6 inch large enough for binoviewing? What is the minimum useful aperture for binovoiewers?

Thanks in advance.

Gregg,
You'll be getting a number of opinions on this I suppose, but I have been using a recent model Lomo binoviewer in my TV85 and recently "Wow"ed my brother and his family on planetary and lunar viewing! I've had a great time with it in my Pronto as well. Hope you can catch Jupiter and Saturn before they're totally gone for the year!
