Tips for using other nozzle sizes in Cura?

Should I let Cura do the driving to print at 0.8 and others?
I love the idea of cutting my 24 14-hour prints in half! But my first try with 0.8 seemed to give me trouble, it looked like underextrusion....or something. I guess I need to good test piece that doesn't take long.
I'm a bit unsure about the shell settings and infill. My BB-8 parts, printed at 0.4, call for ...
6 shells, 6 top and 6 bottom
0.2 to .25mm layer
50% infill
To fit the build plate, I am not using brim, just 2-3 skirt lines to get the print head good and primed
Anders suggested adjusting the fan setting. I'm not sure if that should vary with the bigger nozzle?
Thanks!
