Hi all, I need to pick some of your brains again. Currently I'm using a DSLR (Canon 70D) and I love it. No complaints really apart from perhaps the increased noise levels with stacked subs from summer sessions. All of my pics are taken from my light polluted backyard and not a dark site. I use a basic light pollution filter which does a good enough job I think, however now I feel that it's time to perhaps move over to a dedicated AP camera with filters and all the other little bits and pieces that may be needed for a humble but sound setup. This one has caught my interest.

My questions are:
1. Would this be an upgrade or sidegrade from my DSLR setup?
2. Are these package deals any good or should I just get the camera and purchase the wheel/filters separate?
3. Do better options exist out there within this price range?
My main reasons for considering this camera are:
1. Within my budget (may stretch a little depending on options).
2. Has cooling.
3. It's mono.
4. Can be used for both DSO and planetary (although planetary isn't too important but nice to have).
5. Lots of other people seem happy with it.
I'm a little lost when it comes to AP cameras and setups so please be gentle.
