Question Vixen CCD camera

G'day guys/gals.

In the link there are 2 CCD cameras. One by Vixen & one by celestron. I was wondering about the Vixen: http://www.aoe.com.au/accessories1.html Specs for the vixen: Sensor: Ultra-sensitive 1/3"CMOS
Video Format: 24-bit
Shutter: Electronic controlled
Resolution: 640x480 Pixels: 300,000
Frame Rate: 30fps(CIF), 15fgs (VGA)
Minimum Illumination: 3 lux
S/N Ratio: Equals to 48dB or above
Aperture: 1.25" Power: USB (5V)
Operating Environment: 0-40
ºC

Just weighing up my options here, not sure to go a toucam or one of these vixens.
The vixen BTW is about $115. The celestron $250 Specs for celestron: http://www.celestron.com/neximage/index.htm
