Nikon full frame vs Canon crop sensor

Hi there!

Planning to get properly into AP soon (desperate for a second hand HEQ5 to come on the market; failing that I'll buy a new one in a month or so when funds are there).

When it arrives I'll be practicing with my pro Nikon bodies (D750) and lenses (24-70, 70-200). Once I get the hang of it I'll be looking at either a fast Newt or an ED80.

From what I've read, crop sensor is the way to go due to smaller, less-vignetted images, and Canons are better for modding. High ISO also seem somewhat unnecessary in the context of AP.

Does that mean I'll get better results attaching a 700d to a telescope than my D750? It's thoroughly counter-intuitive to think a $300 body is better than a $2k body, but could well be the case.
