G'day Rob - I've never seen a LPI, so I can't really say much about them. I used a ToUcam for a while and I'd guess that they are similar. You can get quite good results with a colour video cam, so I'd be more worried about collimation and thermal issues first before considering replacing it.
On the other hand, one of the regular planetary imagers on CloudyNights (Chris Go in Cebu, Philippines) has just replaced his ToUcam with a monochrome firewire cam + filters and he's now jumping with excitement about the increase in image quality that he's getting... so it's definitely something to consider when you get to that point.
