Hi Tom,
I was lucky enough to get one of the first MX's, not the MX+, just the MX.
I have an ASA 12" astrograph and Sbig CCD camera mounted on it.
On Saturday I added an ED80 and Nikon DSLR, the mount handled that without a problem. I have three counterweights, you may be able to get away with two, but I'd get three to be on the safe side, they don't cost that much if you get them with the mount.
WRT the cabling, I use the mounts existing TTM cabling, the versa plate has 12V and 5V, USB and the camera power, you say you need to run another three sets through, what are they powering, is there an alternative? TTM cabling is nice, but not an absolute necessity.
I have had some problems with the mount, but they have been fixed now and all is good again.
Cheers
Stuart
