It's pretty hard to find accurate specs on the LPI, I guess they don't want us to know, but a few google searches seem to show that the LPI max exposure is 16seconds while the DSI is an hour. The LPI is 8bit while the DSI is 16bit. The LPI has 8um square pixels while the DSI has 8.3 x 8.4 um. The LPI has a 6.5mm diagonal across the chip, the DSI has 8mm.

To me the 16second limit and 8bit images stops the LPI from being anything but a panetary imager.
