Hi all,
I am getting ready to up grade from my ST7 to either a ST8 or ST2000xm. I already own a CFW8, It looks like I could find a used 8XE for about the same price as a new ST2000xm but I'm not sure which would be my best bet. I wiil be imaging thru a C11 and a Vixen 102ed, sometimes maybe a 80ed. My imaging is just for fun and my own pleasure so I don't need anything real scientific, The more simple the better. Is there a big imaging differnce (quality of image) between the two. I know they each use a diffent chip, but what is the big differnce between the two that makes the ST8xe twice the price of the ST2000xm? Thanks for any info, Tom
