I got my QHY5L-II colour from Gama for the same reasons you cite. The mono would have been better for guiding but it is handy having the colour for quick planetary/lunar/solar imaging. Plus I never really had a problem guiding with the colour anyway though I was using a guidescope and not an OAG.
If you do get the mono you will need to get filters, and probably a filter wheel, if you want to do colour images of planets etc.
Gama was good to deal with, Theo is very knowledgeable about the products he sells.
