Mono or OSC?

Funds are almost there, about to make the purchase. It will probably be an ASI183 chip as I want that sensor size. I want narrower field than APS-C. It will likely be on the 10" F4 most of the time.

I have enjoyed my DSLR. I like the simplicity of OSC, a lot. But OSC will never match mono in resolution or be able to do narrow band. I know the pro's and con's of each but at the end of the day which one will I enjoy using the most? I feel like I'm being left behind with OSC. But.... so much easier! And for comets OSC rates very favourable. Mono is such a pain for comets.

I'm not likely to automate for a while with filter wheels on the mono. I may use a manual one to start with.

Just thinking out loud.

Any extra thoughts?
