Thanks Rick.  I have already called FLI and requested to change the chip from a 15 micron CCD230-42 to a 13.5 micron CCD42-40 (both made by Teledyne e2v).  I will lose some flexibility in terms of avoiding saturation, but I am more comfortable with the FWHM covering more pixels.  I greatly appreciate your input on this question.  It has allowed me to get off the fence and make a final decision.

By the way, my dream would be to get access to a 4 meter telescope.  Right now all I have is my little 0.5 meter scope.  And I feel very lucky to have even that.. :-)
