This is a misconception that many people can't seem to get their heads around. If you take a OSC picture, then you can get an equivalent (same SNR) LRGB pic in a shorter time. If you are time pushed for taking exposures, then you need a mono rather than a OSC. As I said in my earlier post, just do the maths on numbers of photons gathered.
