I quite like my Atik 16ic. It has a similar FOV on an ST80 to a QHY8 on a C8.
Andrews are Atik importers. They have the Atik 314L+ which uses the same ICX285AL chip as the Orion - but it's listed for $2999. Details at

Andrews might still have stock of the cheaper 314L which is the same camera but doesn't have adjustable set point temperatures.
They also have the $1499 16ic-s but that uses the ICX415AL and is only 782x582.
