Hi Grey,
I have just gone down this path myself. I checked with Ron from Moonlite as to load lifts etc. The bottom line is you need to use the correct focuser for the load it will be lifting. I am using a bigger Crayford for a Newtonian (CRL) and tensioned up the lifting capacity to prevent slippage and so far all the V curves and focusing runs have worked well. I am lifting a QSI683 with WSG-8, guide camera and coma corrector. Remember it can sometimes be upside down in various part of the sky. So far nothing has slipped and I am convinced it will be fine. If I were to use a bigger camera and imaging train I would use my Atlas.
