With your more extensive knowledge and understanding of astronomy equipment from a dealer's perspective, was there a particular reason you chose the lite?

The main difference is a smaller case size, and 1G of buffer memory.
The buffer is important if you think you'll need high frame rates. Given my minimum exposures are measured in minutes, rather than frames per second, I do not see an issue here.
The case size is smaller, which makes it easier to mount IMHO, but, meh, a trivial difference at best.
Hope that helps
P.S. Stating the obvious, the Photo-lite version is also less expensive.
