Yeah, the PMEII scares me  ..I am more comfortable with the look and mechanics of the AP   and I went without the absolute encoder option, figured that with better than +/- 2.5" raw periodic error anyway and much lower after PEC and not needing arc sec pointing etc for what I do, it seemed like many $1000's worth of overkill..?

Its simpler to use than the PM mount and not fussed with being out of balance or anything like that. Encoders are good if imaging remote but all I ever do is just slew , plate solve and sync it will then be spot on the rest of the night. PE is a non issue as well with pec you will be around +- 1
