THIS for the Honders and take deep high res wide field shots from Bigga with it, in relatively short exposures.
and use your ProLine 16803 with the 17" for galaxies from home (or Bigga if you decide to move it) seems pretty simple to me 
No mumbo jumbo from me

As much as I love the idea of the camera, I still think I would prefer the 16803. You do lose some resolution but that can potentially be drizzled out. My ONLY concern with the mega camera is the ~40,000 well capacity against the 100,000 of the 16803.
For myself personally, I would prefer the extra dynamic range. Although having never actually really used a CCD (I have one that hasn't actually seen the skies yet due to 6 solid weeks of clouds) you could try to convince me that having half the dynamic range isn't as important
