I assume you have used a 2600MC or 2600MM ?

I use a QHY600M and a QHY294M. I had an ASI183M earlier.
The QHY600m has the same 3.76 micron pixel structure so basically a scaled up version of the 2600.
I spent a lot of time researching the pluses and minuses of each.
Both are good cameras but QHY offers more for much the same cost.
Different read out modes which are useful, larger memory buffer (much larger), 20 micron spec for sensor orthogonality. Also the Photographic version offers the industrial grade sensor which has a higher spec and ceramic base instead of plastic.
The usual concern with QHY was driver issues. I think they like the grease issue are old and now resolved with a few problems surfacing from time to time. ZWO may have the better drivers but I can't really fault the drivers for the QHY600m but for the 294 they were briefly defective but corrected very quickly.
Both are good cameras, so no real wrong decision here. The extra readout modes and larger memory buffer being the 2 main pluses for QHY.
