Would the QHY9 OSC camera show the same increase in resolution over the 40D? Or is this down to the sensitivity of the Mono CCD?

I'm sold on the simplicity of the cooled 40D, but that increase in resolution is hard to ignore with the QHY9.
What worries me is the stuff Phil talked about - tilt of the sensor v's the type of lenses I use and availability of adapters to fit those lenses (Canon EF mount)
Phil: "The M54 thread on the QHY filter wheel is not that common.. I certainly could not find an adaptor to do the job and had to get one custom made (as well as reducing the thickness of the camera-filter wheel connector)."
Doesn't sound very "plug 'n play"!!
Anyone out there doing widefield lens based imaging with mono or colour QHY9 CCDs!!??
Or have I identified a gap in the market?
