Hi Chris
I'm a bit disappointed you've given up on the ccd route but you've got to stick with what works best for you
If you listed all the problems you had with the ccd so far, don't they seem like more of a back end problem, in IT speak?
Eg, the vignetting would require the correct placement of your primary and the correct sized secondary, dust bunnies would require cleaning, coma corrector the right spacer, software issues with win 7 and good capture programs or more know how with the programs and so on?
I guess my background in digital imaging and years of photoshop made my transition to the ccd very easy in terms of processing, so I can see the pros straight away.
I kind of feel you would have better results if you fixed the root causes regardless of the camera, unless you've accounted for all that already and as mentioned a faint object would have provided a good baseline.
The advice you're heeding to is sound, so good luck and it'd be good to see your dslr pics.
Cheers
