CCD options?

Hi All,

At the moment I'm using a Atik 383L along with 1.25" filters, which I know isn't ideal, but for a while there I thought I'd be fine with the pretty bad vignetting and just crop.. Well that has now passed, especially since I've now built myself a wide-field rig - no point if you have to crop the outer 3rd of the image!
So what I'm asking is, can anyone offer advice on a CCD that would suitable to use with BOTH my GSO Rc 6inch and my SD66? My Rc is F9 and my SD66 is F 5.9.
I'd prefer to keep the filters and change the CCD. Figure it's cheaper to sell the Atik and upgrade, than buying a full 36mm set of LRGB plus H,O,S filters. I could be wrong though.
Anyway I know it's not ideal with the wildly different apertures and focal lengths, but I figured I'd see what people think anyway.
Cheers,
Chris
