In my view if your primary interest was shooting galaxies or PN targets the Sony might win, but for a good field I'd still go with the 8300 chip.

good advice.
I would not get too hung up on cooling for the Sony chips Andy - my SX694 ran at 0C throughout the summer with no noticeable thermal noise.
The Australian seller provided no real support when a Peltier failed in my SX camera - it had to go back to the UK and was "do it yourself". However, SX home provided top notch warranty service, repairing the camera in a few days and getting it back quickly.
