Hi Graham. following comments based on limited experience.
The QHY8 is an oldie but a goody - can't see that you would gain much by going for an alternative OSC. It has fairly big pixels and should match well with the RC10 if it can be fitted into the available space. Alternatives with other chips have better cooling/shutter etc, but they need them - the Sony chip works well in a very basic camera.
If looking at a mono setup for the RC10, I wouldn't bother with the 674/694 class of chips that are available in many new cameras - they are very good, but have pixels that are a bit small for the scope. The 8300 is probably in the same boat unless you want to image at the resolution limit in exceptional seeing. I think that leaves the 4000 class cameras in your price range. The QSI cameras with built in filters and OAG look pretty impressive.
regards Ray
