Of course, having bought it, I learned that it won't come to focus through the CFW8 - I understand that the later SBIG FWs do fit. Olivier is sending me the adapter so I can mount it properly.
So I guess this will be my dedicated spectro and photometry camera. I'll load the BVRI filters onto the filter wheel and re-attach it to the camera when I want to switch to photometry. Its a bit of a pain to go from LISA to photometry but its worth it for fun targets like the SN in NGC1365.
Now all I need is clear skies!

The adaptor I have from Sheliak works very well. You need to orient the camera as accurately as you can to have the neon lines vertical and the spectra as close to possible to horizontal. Mine measures 0.1deg of tilt only and this can be corrected by Isis when you plocess the spectra.
