Unless you were to buy something like the Skywatcher black diamond 8" F/6 Newtonian OTA for $599 that comes with rings and a dovetail, and is set up for imaging (As I understand a DSLR will come to focus in them out of the box) The coma corrector is only really nessacary if you do plan on imaging with the DSLR... If it was being used with a small sensor like the GSTAR or a planetary imaging camera, the MPCC would not be needed...

I'm not saying either scope is not a good choice. It just depends on the desired application. For planetary work, the VC200L isn't the better option. for a dedicated deep sky imaging scope, the VC200L would be better...
