QHY9 Advice - Right for me?

I'm looking to buy a QHY9 Mono to upgrade from my Canon 650D. The Canon isn't in great condition and I'm really struggling to get decent images with it.

I considered the ZWO ASI1600 Mono but I have the means to step up to the QHY9 CCD. I'm looking for advice as to whether this would be right for me. I know going from color to mono is a jump, but I'm actually excited to be able to shoot narrowband etc using filters.

My scope is an Explore Scientific ED102 FCD100 and mount is the EQ6-R Pro. I believe this camera would be ideal in terms of over/undersampling based on the research I've done. Is there anything else I should consider?

Also - this will be a second hand purchase, can anyone give advice as to what I should watch for or be wary of in terms of getting a lemon.

Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks!
