Modded DSLRs for astro - still an option?

Just gathering some thoughts about buying a modded DSLR for astrophotography. If the DSLR was to be used just for astro would it be better to get a dedicated CCD camera instead considering the prices have come down considerably over the years? Second hand modded DSLRs are cheaper of course but very hard to come by and then there is the whole cooling thing to consider. What about this option from these guys for a DSLR? I realise a dedicated astro camera will be a fair bit more than this BTW.

Also if modded is still a good option could you please tell me from where you bought (or modded) your camera and if you were pleased with the service and outcome.

I am still looking at scope options as well so am hoping to have enough info by the time I am ready to purchase to 'mate' the two correctly. My brain is hurting

Cheers
Dave
