I did seriously consider that but given they were the same weight. 4 things tipped it in favour of stx
1. Self guding chip. Some people may say bah humbug to this but when you can use it its better than OAG and consumes no back focus. 2 nights ago i used my internal guide chip on st2000xm with Ha filter 7 second guide exposures. Stars were perfect
2. Remote guide head (if they ever enable it on STX)
3. CCDSoft integration and SkyX integration. Proline seems to mean Maxim DL if you want all features. I dont need more software to learn and CCDsoft initegrates with CCDCommander and my other cameras nicely.
4. Price. I got mine from an american guy who owned more cameras than he could use and had never even put his STX on a telescope yet. Saved me a LOT compared to Proline or new STX
