As far as i'm aware the Kaf 8300 chips are fine with the MN190 in terms of imaging circle, it's more the back focus i'm not sure about as i need 50mm which i'm sure will also be fine.

It's a kaf8300, the same as Richard's, so vignetting wouldn't be a problem.
My camera is an SBIG STT8300 with self guiding filterwheel and adaptive optics. I'm surprised how much lighter the QSI 683 combo is than mine (even without the AO) - though I haven't weighed it, I'm just using the manufacturers data - I'll weigh it when I have a chance. I guess SBIG don't do lightweight
