Catching up on 35 years of R&D and then going that little bit further is probably quicker and easier for a true innovator (who may well be an Aussie) than building a reputation for having a superior product to what's already out there. That will necessarily involve some early adopters taking a punt with some serious dollars (for an amateur). And I'm not sure the mount is where most would want to take that gamble these days. The real frontier I think is sensor technology, and to a lesser degree, optics. By cutting down required exposure times before saturation occurs, the mount will become less critical. And the prospect of greatly reduced data-capture times is a lot more attractive than another mount that does a good job at tracking and is locally made.
