Hi, thanks Bill & Alan for your comments.
I am happy with the Vixen as far as stability & optics are concerned but I thought I could update to a scope with similar features but which was easier to set up and lighter in weight. I was going for the 5SE as it does have the built-in wedge while the 6SE it is an add-on (about $600 I think). I have seen a DIY wedge which would be cheaper and maybe possible to build in the fine adjustments that the Celestron wedge doesn't have.
But now I am put off a bit by "the slop in the gears". Maybe I need to look at spending a bit more to get something decent.
Steve
