Even when I was stacking 100hrs worth of narrowband exposure, PixInsinight did not measure an improvement when calibrating with darks as opposed to just flats and bias. The only reason to change the sensor for me at this stage would be if I was going for a wider field, or if I gave into a temptation to try a longer focal length scope.
You've just about convinced me with this advice, thank you! I can't wait to be able to do some proper narrowband work given that I'm situated in a highly light polluted area.
