An interesting discussion and I am not sure how much more I can add to it. However, since I have a KAI11002 sensor I guess I ought to give my reasons for buying this product.

Firstly, I like the traditional 35mm format. Being a 35mm photographer since the early 1980's it has stuck with me, so I like the format. It is limiting to landscape but I have a rotator to get around this problem.

The guiding solution was another reason for choosing this camera and sensor. The STXL has an integrated guiding in the filter wheel. That meant I could fit a rotator, atlas, and eventually AOX into my back focus. I could have chosen the 6303E but it did not suit my field of view ideas and I am not keen on a sensor without ABG.

Whilst the specs all suit the larger sensor, the 11002 sensor is still a good sensor and produces good results. The addition of the AOX with the integrated guide solution in the filter wheel sealed the deal for me.

So for me it was all about a lot of factors and not just the sensor.
