I have been told that the evolution scopes have dual encoders and can be manually pointed after alignment by releasing the clutches, if that is correct it is a really big plus. I had a CPC925 and eventually remounted it as I got tired of having to wait for relatively slow slews and not being able to manually point without wrecking the alignment of the electronics.

In addition, I saw another IIS members evolution 925 earlier this year and the slew speed is far faster than the CPC so even that gripe would be of lesser importance.

I would think that the CPC1100 would be getting to be "bust a fluffle valve" territory to move and set up, the 925 on the dual arm mount was borderline for a one person job if you had to carry it any distance.
