The SW Synscan kit for the Vixen GP clones are fantastic. I have one mounted on my real-deal Vixen GPD2, and the combination is incredible - the GPD2 is superbly machined to start with, and the Synscan kits are excellently machined too, so I get absolutely flawless, noiseless tracking all night. The cheapest I found was Sirius in Brisbane for these, followed by Steve Massey (myastroshop.com.au) - both easily $200 cheaper than several southern city dealers.
The SW simple tracking motors (as opposed to he fully enclosed Synscan kit motors) are ho-hum as I found out - poorly machined spur gears. I did not like them - exposed, shoddy construction
The iOptron GOTONova...well, I won't be rude. QC... what's that?
