Poor seeing favors small apertures on double stars and planets.

I have never found that to be the case.

It's very true. Once, I had my 8" SCT set-up looking at Jupiter and it's moons,
good views only lasted for an hour or so, because the seeing got so bad,
Jupiterturned to an orange blob.
Switched to my 4" refractor and I still had
good viewing of the planets through the night.

I have never seen anything like that happen. When comparing different sized scopes of (roughly) comparable quality side-by-side, the smaller scope might sometimes show a "prettier" planetary image, but most certainly not a more detailed one, AEBE.
