I am going to experiment with software binning a lot more

Sounds about right - in bin 1 on my 294MM the full well is only 14k while it's 66k in bin 2 mode along with the doubled pixel size. This is part of the quandary I have at the moment - at a very short focal length (<300mm), bin 1 is considered a better "fit", but is there enough visible improvement in the results to make it worth giving away the advantages of bin 2? And how much difference, if any, is there between software binning in camera & capturing in bin 1 then doing bin 2 in post?
I will probably just end up going bin2 in camera until I get a better pc for post, one that can handle the larger files much easier.
