I believe his gemini 1 controller was recently blown apart in a lightning strike and he has to replace it with a gemini 2 system.
Time will tell what that's like.

As Tandum says - I've had a Titan for 5 years or so and it has been an absolute gem. I also have an EQ8 and it too runs very well, without any glitches and has similar carrying capacity. The Titan is probably simpler in engineering terms, much more easily stripped and serviced, and the overall build quality is probably a shade better as well. But I won't try to split them. I like the EQ8 auto-home mechanism and am not a great fan of the Gemini system but that is largely a matter of taste I think.
