Having never used a SX unit, I really couldn't say.
That said, SBIG's first (reflective optic) AO's than ran under DOS (the Jurassic version of windows 8 to our younger readers
), while difficult to set up, were simply amazing and have not been bettered. 30Hz guiding was easily obtainable, the downside was, bright guide stars (to take advantage of that amazing guide rate) were often not.
On a more pragmatic side, if you want to use a KAF16803 chip (or KAF11002), SBIG's AO-X is the only AO on the market, period, that has the aperture to do the job.
