True Marki, I looked at both the SX and the Orion units recently.. Personally, The only reason I'd go near the Orion AO unit is to throw rocks at it. The SXV-AO unit seems quite good, and results I've seen show that its very capable. Until recently they have only been of use to those with APS-C sized sensors and smaller, although reports have it that SX are releasing a new AO unit able to be used on 35mm systems... Neither of these units are as cost effective as the SBIG AO setup, nor are they as well proven in the field.. The SBIG system is incredibly well integrated... I myself have been looking at the SXV-AO unit, as I love my ST8300, but do want an AO option... That said, I'll wait until the STX8300 comes out and go for the AO-STX..
