And we are still waiting for the detailed comparison. I can't unfortunately as I have no experience with these higher end GEM mounts, but I can say that this mount handles my near 80kg of load (including weights) with absolute ease. In fact, the bearings are so smooth that a slight offset in lateral balance caused by not having a polar scope cause the scope to list to one side - co-incidentally with the time honoured tradition of 'laying back' against the worm to ensure maximum tracking accuracy.
I'm pretty amazed to be honest how much better this mount is than the original LX200 fork from which the OTA came. I look forward to those with experience of more exotic scopes to give them a good side-by-side test.
