A key pursuit of 10-meter-class optical-infrared telescopes is to use deep imaging and spectroscopic surveys to track the evolution of galaxy structure. Future telescopes will continue this quest back to the epoch of the first galaxies, reaching ever fainter structures at ever higher redshifts. Apertures of 20, 30, 50, and 100 meters equipped with the latest in adaptive optics will look out from the world's foremost observing sites, and incrementally improve on point-source sensitivity. But how will they compare for studying extended structures? Scientific avenues that can be pursued with poorer spatial resolution, but require low backgrounds - for example, tracing the formation history of bulges - might allow for tradeoffs between aperture, site, and cost. To explore this parameter space I use a published model of average seeing at any site, develop a simple telescope performance and cost model, and simulate resultant galaxy images over a wide range of absolute brightness, size, bulge fraction, inclination, and redshift. I present a graphical interface to the model which allows side-by-side visual comparison of a given galaxy for any two observatories. This approach is intuitive and flexible, although probably not well suited for detailed analysis of a particular telescope. I compare observatory cost against the relative accuracy of measured galaxy bulge-to-total ratio, and comment on telescope and site requirements.
