Two inch diagonal and EP's ???

I currently own a 12 inch LX90 with UHTC,a 1.25 inch Williams dielectric diagonal and all of my EP's are 1.25 inch.

My passion, if you will, is viewing galaxies.

Would converting to a two inch diagonal and 2 inch EP's appreciably improve my limted view of details in galaxies....even M51?

I live in rural CT but it is CT.


Thanks........Mike

No. Only the big galaxies might look better - M31 and M33, but they still won't fit in the FOV.
