Lewis, the Vixen, although more expensive, has a lower rated load capacity than the EQ6 (16 vs 20kg). Was that material in your experience?
BTW...just noticed all the Vixen mount prices have been removed from Astroshop's website today! They were there last night. Oh dear...usually means price/availability sadness. |
Yes, lower rated, but MUCH higher precision. 16kg is also CONSERVATIVE - it is the IMAGING weight, vs SW's ALL UP weight.
My rig sits at 9kg - FSQ-106, CCD, guidescope, finder, dewstraps, rings. The GPD2, rated to 10kg, handles it impeccibly. The SXP will do even better.
