But might help if you give a bit more info about your setup to see if you are likely to need to spend extra $$ for those advantages. If it’s using long fl oag etc then I’d say yes it’s very worth it. For a short fl guide scope maybe not.
As a side note - the 290mm is a very handy planetary/solar/lunar camera too.

Currently using a William Optics GT81 IV at a 382mm FL with a reducer.
The 120MM works well now but was wondering if I could get more performance out of guiding with a larger sensor.
