Maybe you should see this problem with a different point of view because telescopes (most of them, specially big one) have a secondary mirror, so (light) obstruction.
If you made a test with two telescopes a the same f/d, same focal and the same aperture but with a different obstruction you could see major variation in light energy at the focus plan.
It is a fact who explain why refractors are more luminous than reflectors telescopes.
So maybe you should use 'collecting surface' area instead of f/d or aperture (?).
