is http://www.gamaelectronics.com.au a trustworthy company to order from? I have never heard of them before.
Theo runs gama electronics. He is the qhy dealer in oz and is Gama on these forums. Here's a couple of threads to look at :

The only issue I have is the very small pixels (3.75micron) with no binning option....the QE>75 on the Mono is impressive!
It's the same sensor as is in that group buy webcam but it has a guide port. I'd suggest you don't need big pixels when you're shooting short exposures where well depth isn't an issue. There are quite a few planetary images from it now on the qhy forums but all I've got from it due to weather and changing scopes is a deep space attempt on a cluster. That was shot with the latest beta drivers which give the camera 12bit image support.

The latest PHD has native support for the qhy5II and I believe he is adding native support for the qhy5LII to the next version.
