Maybe, Yes and Yes.

The DSI Pro is a monochrome camera, so you need to use RGB filters to build up a colour image. It's not for the novice. It's more difficult in the capture and it's more difficult in the processing.

It may be better on the planets simply because of the resolution and capturing in monochrome using filters, and not having to stuff all the colour information in a 640x480 resolution. But if you want to do serious planetary work, get a ToUcam, or a firewire camera that won't need to compress the data to shove it down the pipe.
