Hi Baz,
I have the Lodestar, love it and is very sensitive, I have only used it with PHD (1 and 2) and never had any issues.
As mentioned the ST4 plug on the back is different to the Std phone RJ12 style plug and probably not as strong but I also use Pulse guiding in EQMod so doesn't bother me FWIW.
Also for the darks, while the Lodestar doesn't have a shutter mine only has 3 to 4 hot pixels and these stand out like balls on a budgie so you know what is what and what not to use so I have never had any issues there.
As mentioned once I went to the Lodestar I was massively impressed and never looked back, yes it was expensing but worth every cent.
I have never used an ST-I so can't comment there sorry.
Hope that helps a little.
Cheers
Anthony
