Hi Dave,
I was just viewing through a 24" Starmaster this weekend and it is certainly a step above the 14.5" Starmaster that I own. Pun intended!
The 20" Starmaster that another friend owns is also a step above. The objects are brighter and more resolved in the larger scopes. However the step ladder used is a pain for me, but the climb is worth the effort I guess. 8)
I prefer standing on the ground, but I do enjoy a trip up the ladder, but I am always happy that I do not have to transport and setup the larger scope.
Worth it? Yes of course, but do you have the time, space and physical strength to deal with the larger scope is a big question that you also must answer.
