585mc or a6000 for DSO with 8" F5 unguided?

I have a 8" F5 (1000mm) Newt on a belt modded Heq5 pro and am interested primarily in DSO.

Given the fact that I'm pushing the weight limits of my mount, and I aren't using a guidescope, I will be limited to short exposures (between 1 - 30 sec). Which camera will make the most of these limitations: the Zwo asi585mc/player one Uranus C or the Sony a6000? And why? I know the 585 has 2.9um pixels and the a6000 has 3.88um which would be more suited to my focal length, gather light faster and be more forgiving of tracking problems, but what other factors/specs should I consider?
