The Zeiss 780 is an upgrade for the single photon.  The big issues for me with the Zeiss and Olympus multiphoton are the detector dynamic range, and detector sensitivity.  Extremely sensitive detectors can have a limited dynamic range.  I would be interested in hearing from someone who had recently tested not only the sensitivity of these two multiphotons, but also the dynamic range in an image collected a moderate to low fluorescence levels.  My evaluation a year ago was that the Olympus multiphoton had the better combination of sensitivity and dynamic range.
