A friend recently purchased the standard CEM60, without high end encoders, and is very impressed with it -- as am I. :-)

If I did not already have a AZEQ6GT , which I'm very happy with, I certainly would consider a CEM60.

-- light weight, easy to lift, but has good carrying capacity ( 27 KG I think)
-- iOptron handset & software is much better then Synscan ( SkyWatcher), the handset
offers 8 lines of information, SynScan 2 lines.
-- has inbuilt GPS and its Polar Align setup is better than AZEA6GT.
-- very nicely engineered, well built, the built in level is useless however ! My fiend added two cheap spirit levels vials that he could actually see.

The software is not perfect and three star align is still "coming" ?, but the one star and 2 star aligns are very accurate.

Cheers,
