I have had a lot of success with mine before I upgraded to a separate guide camera with computer control.
That's the very one I was looking at. I think the negative reviews I read were by people who were used to using a far more sophisticated arrangement with which it couldn't reasonably hope to compete.

What length subs can you expect using it with, say, a 1000mm focal length?
