Greg is dead right - the small pixels aren't so much a problem for sensitivity as they are dynamic range. There are physical limits as to how many electrons you can put in a well of a given size.

Rowland - you're right too but that "inexpensive" QHY10 costs 1.5x more than my entire imaging rig.

Simple answer to the original questions: Yes, if you can afford it.
