Meade LPI or DSI as a guidecam?

With the dollar at an all record high, I am considering taking the next plunge for deep sky work and purchasing a guidecam to be used with a 12.5" reflector and an off axis guider. This wil mean faint and sometimes oblique looking stars.

Just wondering whether a Meade LPI or DSI will do the job for me?

Is the LPI sensetive enough? Meade claims that it will guide to Mag 10 or should I go that extra bit and get a DSI seeing that I will be using it with an off axis guider?

Is one easier to use than the other?

Look forward to any advice the more experienced imagers on the forumn can offer.

John.
