Skywatcher ED80 Focuser

[DarwinAstro]

Hi All, I'm looking at dumping the EOM focuser that came with my Sky Watcher ED80 for a GSO (96mm) model. I was hoping someone else maybe able to provide some feed back? Good, bad or indifferent. I'm particularly interested if anyone has attached an ZWO EAF to one. Also wondering if the GSO focuser has incremental markings on the draw tube. The larger 112mm does for sure, but not a %100 on the 96mm model. TIA

Chris,
I now have four (!!!) ED80 set up for solar imaging.
Each has been “upgraded” to the generic 10:1 dual focuser and is currently been driver by a belt driver SW electronic motor.
This works very well for me....no need for a feathertouch.
The GSO does have the index scale.

Cheers Ken, I already have the EAF, so I'll keep using it on the new setup if I go down that track, which is about my only option.
