Ignoring the 14 bit versus 16 bit question, I know the 2600 costs a lot more but if you are doing a widefield rig the 2600 has a much larger sensor. The combined pic attached is what field of view I would get using my Stellarvue SVX80 without reducer, with the sensor size of the 533 versus the 2600.
Yes I did the same thing in Telescopius and have decided to go with the 2600. Just have to get it past the financial committee.
