Sell my ASI 290mc?

Hi,

I have a ASI 290MC and a ASI 1600MMC Pro. I have been taking some planetary images with the 290, however since the 1600 can take at least 30fps using ROI can anyone think of a reason for keeping the 290 as it seems I can use the 1600 for both planetary and DSO.

Also since the sensor is bigger it is easier to find and frame a planet when using barlows.

I could sell the 290 and get a mono camera which would be more sensitive for guiding.

Also does anyone know what frame rates are possible using the 1600 with various ROI's using USB 2 as at the moment I only have a USB2 powered hub.

Cheers
Paul
