Observing strategy

I have been making plans for the starting dark sky -season. I live in Finland, and we still have light nights because of summer, but soon the nights are getting dark again.

I have been thinking a strategical question regarding my plan, the question is: should I focus on observing stars with a such amplitude, that I can cover the whole cycle with my 4'' refractor or should I also observe stars that I can monitor only when they are bright enough that I can see them with my small refractor? What do you think about this question? I would be happy to hear any opinions and recommendations!
