Anybody has any experience with any of those?
Not worth it IMHO. Seriously let's do the maths:

277.00 Euro (not including shipping) you're looking at AUD395.00?
Resolution is 510x492 with a 9.6x7.5um pixel size and you're stuck with a prorietary hardware/software package.

Now look at a QHY5 mono: AUD360.00 - 5.2um square pixel, Resolution 1280x1024 and PHD is free.

I think this self contained unit is a bit of "turn key solution all in one" gimmick. Just not practical in real life and not a flexible solution.
