I am ready to enter the CCD world but...

That's it! After 6 months spent learning how to best enjoy my Losmandy Titan mount + C14, I am ready to enter the CCD world! My budget is in the range of $3,000 for the camera.
My initial pick would be a ST-9XE because of its sensitivity and large pixels, which I believe is a good fit to the long focal lenght of the C14. But the ST-2000XM looks pretty with the ability to do 2x2 binning...
Well, at this point I need your advice!
Thanks.

HI,

I would reccommend the ST-2000XM , it is a more versitle camera, with good QE and will be very usable with a shorl focal length scope if you should ever buy one.
