Been thinking about something in the 600-700mm range, and while I was looking for a 100mm, this could do the trick. Assuming I can get it past the wife (will be a struggle, I've been on a spree lately!).
The focuser is alright if you just have the camera but as you see in the picture I had the AO, OAG, Baader FFC and the camera. That was an extreme case and a fair bit of overhang so I had to brace all the tubes. When I used it with the camera only I never had any issues. It's quite smooth. Also has a rotator built-in so it comes handy to re-frame.
