With all this BS floating around re the Titan 50 mount, let me tell you that for past two years I've been using this mount with no regrets. It swings a C14 OTA.
I also have an EQ8 and G11 (retrofitted with a Gem II system and French Overian RA worm).
While the Losmandy mounts are built to a standard, the EQ8 was built to a price. So don't start comparing a Great Wall to a Rolls.
My Titan 50 can track for 10mins unguided with scope up to 1000mm F/Land is a solid hunk of superb workmanship. The only down side of the Losmandy mounts is the damn Gemini II software., as it's one real PITA. While the Gem II has its good points, nothing in my mind is better than TSX.
Overall the Titan 50 is bees knees ft those who want quality and superb performance.
