The only problem is that it doesn't have slow motion controls or any obvious way to include encoders (although I have read that this was possible with earlier models).
I would certainly consider this a "light-weight" mount option and have seen pictures of people hanging big scopes off these (10" Newt).
It look like good value, but I have my heart set on a DSC push-to system, so really want a built-in encoder option like the T-Rex.
