Thanks Glen - 80mm is really a bit bigger than I wanted to go. I already have an ED102 triplet for more aperture (& focal length) if I need it.

Thanks Slawomir good point. I upgraded the stock focuser on my ED102 so not keen to do it again on a smaller scope.

The AT65EDQ sounds like another worthwhile option - I've heard of it but don't know much about it so thanks for mentioning it. I've heard Borg are expensive but have a good reputation - not sure where to source one from though.
