The STXL11002 is a good camera. I have one and it works well. It will mean you can do narrow band imaging from home. That way you will use the camera more often. You can also do some broad band imaging too but mainly for stars and brighter objects.
I would recommend you get the integrated filter wheel and guide camera. It works a treat and has 8 filter slots for narrow band and broad band filters.
No point economising here as you will wish later on that you had made the purchase in one hit.
The 11K sensor is a proven performer and while it has middle of the range QE it is widely used by many of the top imagers across the world.
The STXL will hold temperature of -30C on the sensor all year round including on very warm nights. MANY other cameras cannot do that as a matter of fact.
Mono is not hard and there are many good tuts on the net that will guide you through the process. Using a OSC in Sydney will limit you.
Feel free to ask me any questions you may have about the STXL.
