I have skytee2 and had to replace the saddles with ADM ones as the ones that came with were loose even after tigtenng them. I bought at low price with the knowledge it had issues as it was imported used From uK and had some damage that caused play in alt movement as well as a bend on the az worm this was ok as the other side of the az worm was fine and could be turne from there.
If you follow the uk and us forums you will see common theme of people needing to replace saddles etc. if you got a good mount new and made the upgrades it's a very capable mount. One other point there is no easy way to mount encoders to use a DSC, you'd need a custom encoder mount.
I would suggest th AZ8 is far far better mount. There is skytee2 with some mods for sale on eBay in Perth it's been there for a while, may not be there now. Note skywatcher and there local distributors were of no help in getting parts for this as they dont sell it in Aus.
