Mount Guiding

Hello to all

I am currently guiding my Ultima 9.25 scope using the following setup.

Orion ST80 - Scope
DBK21 - Camera
Shoestring GPUSB - Computer to mount ST4 adapter.
PHD Guiding

Would I get better guiding results with the following setup.

Orion ST80
Orion StarShoot Autoguider

As you can see only one computer control system compared to three in my currents system. The camera can plug straight into the mount where my GPUSB goes now.

So my only issue is would it better as the camera directly controls my mount or would it be a waste of money.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Carl
