The only reason to change the sensor for me at this stage would be if I was going for a wider field, or if I gave into a temptation to try a longer focal length scope.

You've just about convinced me with this advice, thank you! I can't wait to be able to do some proper narrowband work given that I'm situated in a highly light polluted area.
