Is it worth using my Newt?

Question...... My skies or rather my guiding is generally around 1 arcsec, sometimes a little better sometimes (more often than normal!) a little worse, anyway! I have 2 scopes, an 8" F4 Newt and a William Optics ZS73 and my camera is a ASI1600Pro. This give 0.98 Arcsecs/pxel in the newt and somewhere around 2 in the Frac. My question - is there any benefit to using the newt? Its a smaller FoV, so more 'zoomed in' so to speak, but that zoom, do my skies allow it? Am I just better off sticking to the nice simple to guide Frac as when using the newt, although I can get a more zoomed in image, there is no extra detail in the zoom due to my crappy skies (and guiding, and crap collimation...)
