Hi Kal, I've used the LPI, Neximager, SPS900NC, and now a DMK mono. Now the DMK is a big stepup as would be any other firewire mono camera as you need to equip youself with filters and a wheel and the whole operation and post processing takes a huge step up in time and to some extent complexity.
The Nexmager is pretty similar to the Toucam. The SPS900NC is really just the Toucam 3 and is better than the neximager mainly for reasons of lower noise so you can push gain higher. Both are significantly better than the LPI for planetary as they use much more sensitive chips... the difference in end result is really quite astounding. The 900NC comes pretty close to the DMK in what you can achieve with it so would be my recommendation... ignore maximum frame rates as you will really only want to record at 10fps for bets results.
cheers,
