All these things make a massive difference, more than being simply slightly over or undersampled.
For example you could be talking about a 10" F8 RC vs a 10" F4 newtonian. Totally different in almost every respect, different focal length, different corrections needed etc....
Your right to do at least some research on the pixel scale as this should be within sensible bounderies.

Thanks for the input Dave.
Now that I have decided on the most efficient imaging solution, the implementation details are practically self evident. I will be getting:
- 250 f4 CF Newt
- Moonlite digital focuser
- RCC1 (or Paracorr if RCC1 does not work out)
- OAG/filter wheel/694 camera combo
- EQ8 (feeling brave)
