An albiet extreme example of filter savings. a 1.25" 3nm Ha Astrodon filter is US$395, a 50mm square version is US$1055 (round $895)
1.25" Astrodon LRGB set $450, 50mm $825.
36mm are somewhere in between (if you can wait some random time for a wheel to appear, by anyone).
I havent done detailed math, but any other 8300 chip cam with a filter wheel, OAG and a full set of quality filters is likely to cost much more.
The down side is if you upgrade to a bigger cam later, the 1.25" filters will need replacing.
