Yes to what you replied re Sony vs KAF. With the SXVR-M25C, darks are NOT required (in fact, makes the image WORSE). QE is high. And I feel all round the SX's are MUCH better made than SBIG.

I had some issues with the SX in terms of header sizes not reading right, but their software guy sorted that within a day!!! Like most SX's, it doesn't get particularly cold, but with the very clean Sony chip it is not much of an issue. The newer and rebuilt M25C's now have double stage cooling, so go colder. SX did that for me for $130 by memory.

I want to go back to the 25C... just funds are tight right now. I do like the ST-8300C, but I feel the 25C is a better option for me in the end, despite the largish pixels.,
