Correct, CCD's improve the SNR by a factor of 4 as binning is performed at the hardware level (in fact, with 3x3 binning it bounces up to 9...but typically 27 micron pixels...not pretty. ).
With CMOS it's a factor of two.
Depending on the FL used, where CMOS binning helps for me is the significant reduction in file size....really helpful with memory handling of dozens, if not hundreds of exposures.
