Probably depends on what you want to do, really. How big are the targets you're most interesting in shooting?

The 8300 is a fairly decent size sensor, nice for wider FOVs, but it is (relatively) low in QE and high in read noise compared to the Sony sensors on the market.

If your focus is on wide field work then an 8300-based camera might be the go. If you're interested in small, dim targets then maybe one of the Sony-based cameras would be better, such as the 414ex.

The other factor is, how good is your seeing? No point sampling at 0.83"/px if your typical seeing is 4".
