Mono camera thoughts

[bottletopburly]

 Looking at a mono camera namely a zwo https://www.firstlightoptics.com/zwo-cameras/zwo-asi290mm-mini-usb-2-mono-camera.html

 so the slimline version USB2 or do I wait and get the next one up usb3 but not slimline  https://www.firstlightoptics.com/zwo-cameras/zwo-asi178mm-usb-3-mono-camera.htmlI do have an Alienware mini pc in loft waiting so potentially I could use this and install in shed and use only for Astro and team view to this to take advantage of usb3 or use USB2 if used on laptop, I always like the better picture that’s possible with mono for planetary and more sensitive for guiding than the qhy5l-11 colour I have , and had that a few years now , thoughts peeps please .
