I have used Sitech yes compared to other goto systems it's an acquired taste. However there is some awesome under the hood features built into there software and hardware. For a semi permanent backyard observatory setup i would go Sitech. i have used Gemini and I don't find it any less fiddle the only good thing about Gemini and other goto systems is that the can be used fully without a computer. Sitech can be used in standalone mode however this is for manual slew and track only. You could also use Argo Navis and possibly the Nexus with it also to provide a stand alone goto system. Last I read people have been trying to get sky safari to work with it for stand alone mode.
Also as Mesu is Servo motors you might be able to get Gemini to work with it also.
Between those two mounts IMHO the Mesu is the better mount.
