Here is a minimally compressed jpeg file of a full frame dark taken with my FLI ProLine 11002 (KAI11002 chip) warning 8meg file:

Here is a 10 minute bin 1x1 -30C (I only have a 15 min -35C and besides -35C is not a temp you can ordinarily achieve with an STL, usually only in mid winter, in summer you may only get -15 to -20C and it is a lot noisier at those temps).

All I did was hit auto levels in PS to make the dark visible (otherwise the image was jet black as with any image before levels).
As you can see the FLI is way less noisy, same chip - KAI11002 class 2.
What's causes the difference? FLI claims it is superior electronics.
Also the FLI PL11002 is USB2.0 versus USB 1.0.
A pretty convincing reason to get the FLI don't you think?
