I just think with Atik 460ex you get more out of your setup, since is works fine with 1.25 filters and the weight is the same as for the smaller Atik 428ex and it costs extra to move up if you one day decide that ICX 674 is too small (speaking from my experience).
Anyway, Atik 428 and 460 are both fine cameras and it takes skills and experience to make the most of out them.
Good luck!

Slawomir,
Thanks for your words of advice - much appreciated
The QE of the 428EX is way up there compared to the 314L+ and the Pixel ratio suits my scopes more. I know what you mean about the FOV and that is a consideration however it's a lot more ontop of my original budget for something that I would like but is a'nice' to have as opposed to 'required'.
All I've got to do is source a 428EX and some imaging filters/wheel now
