I've done a few RGB only images with data from our automated/shared scope at SRO. In terms of detail there's a benefit as we get better FHWM in the colour subs that we do in Lum. For bright objects it works well. I did a very decent M31 with about 6 hours on each colour. The downside is that it does take substantially longer to get good SNR with dim targets.
