Both the LPI and DSI are about the equivalent to a 6mm eyepiece, so have quite high magnification. A focal reducer is needed for the big faint fuzzies. The DSI will be more sensitive than a DSLR, but I have just made the switch. Will be using a Canon 400D to image, and a DSI Pro to autoguide. The Canon cameras go against all convention, as they are a CMOS chip, yet still perform very well on DSO's.
