Not at all Phil

I think we are on the same page.

In terms of "time" vs "quality of result" when you have a good deal of flux, I'd agree the difference is not great.

In terms of S/N from your comments I say we'd both agree that CCD technology, particularly when you don't have many photons to play with, can be easily shown to be "more sensitive" (a no-brainer really )

....which I think was the question being posed.
