Yes you do Roger, mono is 4x sensitivity compared to one shot colour for a given size and number of pixels. However your choice of camera should consider other factors - not the least of which is ease of use. Mono is more labour intensive to acquire and process - you need at lease 3 exposures to get colour which offsets the sensitivity argument quite a bit.
