The JWST's biggest feature is not the size of it's mirrors, but the colour. In the images that the Hubble took of the farthest away galaxies ever observed, they were so red shifted because they were moving away from us at such a rapid rate that they were almost invisible. The gold plating on the JWST's main mirrors will allow it to view infra red objects, objects MUCH more red shifted than the farthest of Hubble objects, and hence more distant objects, it will basically be able to see the universe's first galaxies forming. However, we are unlikely to see the stunning pictures synonymous with the Hubble as the telescope will not function as well in the visible spectrum.
