The focusser on the SW ED120 is not the same as the "cheap" one on the Saxon . As I have already stated as an owner it easily supports without flexure and slippage both an OAG with guide camera and a celestron Nightscape camera ( which is heavier than the average DSLR). It is also a 10:1 fine adjustment focusser. Yes a moonlight focusser would be desirable on most telescopes but in this case the stock focuser is quite adequate for astrophotography. See some of my 5 - 10 min stacked subs in beginners astrophotography to see what it can do.
