Anyone used this equipment, or dealt direct with the manufacturer in USA?

Looking at replacing my EQ6 puck with a vixen type saddle and would be interested if anyone else has used one.

I've not used Farpoint but ADM (which I've used a lot) makes something similar...

They also have dual Vixen/Losmandy ones:

Thanks Peter,

Cananyone say if the ADM saddle has a moving clamp bar?(Farpoint does) Prices are the same for each manufacturer but Farpoint want USD$45 for postage - ouch!

ADM have a spring loaded moving clamp bar.

I'll second the ADM recommendation. It's superbly made and will not dimple your dovetail's edge.
