I do remember even Doug throwing his hands in the air and dumped mono for OSC a while back.
For us mear mortals, it really is a bit of a process

Your not wrong Robin. The jump is a big one but I really think it is not an insumountable jump. The biggest step is the extra time required for good capture and the extended processing of 4 sets of light frames against the one set with a OSC.
I still believe the images captured with a OSC can be of as good a quality as the mono, or at least very near as long as the total exposure time is similar.
The likes of Tom Davis who uses a mono camera for his luminance and NB and a OSC for his RGB images stands as testament to this fact. The biggest thing which attracts people to OSC is the camera can produce quite acceptable images in a very short time with a small amount of processing.

My advice would still be a mono but be prepared to get some very good software with it if you want the very best images.
