I have the ST-8300C. The build quality is fine, it just seems they made a few too many shortcuts to save some $. Fibre dessicant that the user must fit, in rather a delicate spot and with no real method, and the thing bricks if you turn it off the wrong way (no switch on the power supply). I guess they improved it all with the more expensive STF and STT etc.
I have had a few SBIG before, and they were hassle free, but the SX to me is just a better package - smaller, lighter, comes as standard with a tip-tilt faceplate to get orthogonality, simple power and USB setup, and actually pretty decent software with it (though I use MaxIM, so it doesn't matter much).
Now having said that, I'd drop the lot to get another FLI - just a masterpiece of perfection! The ML8300C I had blew my socks off - should NEVER have sold that one!
