But then look at these images from a C8, http://www.flickr.com/photos/jasmel9...in/photostream and then look at these C14 images....

It isn't all that indicative of what you would expect to get out of those two scopes.

Some people are freakishly good with the gear they have, or happen to get ideal seeing where they live ,and get great images from just about anything.
If I could get that performance out of a C8 I'd sell my other gear tomorrow...

Point is, I think you will get better results and more detail with a 105 scope rather than a 92, and they will still be well weighted for your scope and you won't get aperture fever as quickly. Galleries are great to see what a scope can be capable of, but it isn't always much of an indication of the scope, more of the seeing, processing, skill and luck of the draw.

ps...had a look at the Boren-Simon f2.8. Images look fantastic, but $2.5k for a GSO 8" Newt and an ASA corrector is a tad excessive
