Always finds quite a few (often many) suitable guide stars in its FOV, even through light cloud.

This. I had the Orion short tube scope from Bintel. It was cheap plastic and the front element has some weird de-lamination or something happening after a year of use. Guiding got progressivley worse.
So i went with the orion mini guider scope (without camera, already have a lodestar) and the guiding quality was significantly better.
If your going with a long FL scope, id suggest an OAG, but with a widefield device, the miniguider is hard to beat.
