Newt upgrade

I'm thinking of selling my 8" SW Quattro f4 newt to get it's bigger brethren the 10" f4 as I like it so much.
I also am considering upgrading the MPCC coma corrector I have to a Paracorr Type II (2 inch)
I am looking for expertise from those who have similar to point out any issues. I aim to use my cooled DSLR or QHY 8 colour cameras in it as I find little time now for LRGB.
Having never used a Paracorr what is the connection issues with it and EOS or T2 type? The schematics mention a standard TV connector- is this the only way? is it expensive ?
(I am not overly fussed by back focus issues as I will still using a guide scope I think) . I think the Paracorr is constrained anyway to 55mm BF?
Cheers all
Graz
