I checked one out at Bintel last week. The fine focus is very fine indeed. Machining and components are the same quality as the single speed GSO Crayford, which btw are not of the same standard as they used to be when they first came out. People who have tried my GS Crayford at the last Snake Valley camp and compared it their older ones would know what I am talking about (mine has slop without tension and uneven pressure; it is not as smooth as the older models). The quality of my focuser is now the norm (I've tried many on new GS telescopes and on their own). Still a good bargain for the price and a big improvement over the R&P models.
