1. Is the 2600/6200 mc pro oil leak still a problem?
2. Is there any disadvantage (not monetary) in going with the 6200mc pro and using ROI. Effectively using it as FF, crop sensor/4 thirds/1in sensor as the optics demand?
3. Buy local or overseas/direct? Price differential is $300 for 2600 and $600 for 6200 if lucky with gst/customs.
Cheers

Question 2. Yes you can do that. As to disadvantages - not that I aware of beyond you are getting s smaller FOV, its a digital zoom. But that may suit the target if its a galaxy.
Question 3 I would buy QHY over ASI for a 6200. QHY has much better senor orthogonal procedures and tolerances whereas from what I have read ZWO do not with considerable tilt being a major issue. My QHY requires the same tilt correction as my CCDs which I see as some minor tilt in my imaging train not the camera and I take that as a test of its sensor squareness. There are lots of posts about ZWO ASI 6200 sensors being tilted over at Cloudy Nights.
QHY also has various read modes, has a higher grade sensor on the photographic model compared to ZWO. It costs a bit more but I think its worth it. The various read modes are very handy and quite noticeable in their effect.
Build quality is more robust with QHY as well.
