Allegedly the standard focuser had been improved - I would have really hated to have had an older version if that was the case.

The finder scope is quite average (to me), but I rarely use that now so it's not a big deal to me.

Overall though, I like it - it's not too heavy and it seems to cool quickly for use. The fans help with this, although they can seem to be a bit whiny after a while.
Thanks for that. That is what I thought, that the focuser despite being upgraded it still not good enough for imaging reliably.
