Espirit 150!! Noice!
I am upgrading to the Litecrawler focuser on my Edge 8". Its an all in one focuser and rotator, smaller version of the Nitecrawler to suit the Edge scopes. Will do a report once I have it up and running. I have used manual ML focusers on my 2 dobs (20" and 8") for several years and the motorised CHL focuser on the Edge since March and they are all wonderful.
I also have a Feathertouch focuser on my Stellarvue 4" with the motor and a non motorised one on my Lunt solar scope.
Both brands are excellent. The only fault that I have found is that the motor on the FT is held with a collar that is tightened with a grub screw which has to be checked occasionally as it has worked its way loose on a couple of occasions.
