DMK31AF03.AS and surrounding

Hello to all,
i'm new to this forum.
I was searching news about DBK-DFK sensitivity because i'm an happy user of a DMK31AF03.AS (1024 x 768) and i was wondering about "HOW MUCH" difference there is between BW and Color versions.
I bought the DMK it mainly for Guiding/Moon /Planets imaging but now i'm enjoying beginning with some unguided 45 seconds exposure DSO imaging from my town (i'm lazy so i stay on my terrace).

The results are pretty encouraging and i'm very happy i bought it.
Should i be disappointed by the color version? (i'd buy 640x480 for budget reasons).
I know that the 640x480 sensor has bigger pixels but they can't fully recover the loss of the bayer mask.
Could someone give me suggestions/opinion?

Regards
Alberto

my DMK31AF03.AS tests:
the DSO objects are all unguided exposition 45 seconds each one with a C8 + focal reducer 3.3
