With that in mind, certainly a good OSC would be the way to go. Mono cameras on their own are more expensive and you need to add the additional cost of decent filters & a filter wheel. Good filters on their own could cost more than the OSC camera.
I was going to get the cooled ASI533MC, I think it looks like a great camera, but a relatively new 294MM came up in the classifieds here for the same price as buying a 533MC new so I jumped on that - then of course had to get the extras - and I haven't been able to afford "good" ones yet, even my filter wheel is manual.
A good cooled OSC like the 533MC will give you great results. Add a decent duo or tri-band filter & it may still be cheaper than a similar mono cam on it's own. Just be sure the camera is suitable for the telescope you intend to use.
Cheers,
Mark
