Used 314L OSC vs New 314E Mono

Hey guys,

I'm in the market for a CCD. With my (very limited) budget I can currently purchase a used 314L OSC, or a brand new 314E mono. I'd love to get a used 314L mono, but there's none around at the moment.

So, my question is, which of the two would I be better off with? I'm mostly interested in photographing galaxies and to a lesser extent nebula. I live in a reasonably dark area (we have 5 acres near Kilcoy, about 10-15mins drive @100km/hr from the nearest street light).

Thanks,
Lee

[edit]: Forgot to mention, I will be using an Skywatcher BD ED80 600mm F7.5 refractor
