Hi all,

I'm pondering if moving to a C14 would be a significant upgrade from my Mewlon 250 for planetary imaging, any thoughts?

Yes. As I've said before, more aperture is a big help in planetary imaging if, for no other reason, than that it allows shorter exposures/higher frame rates at large image scales.
