10 years now using a Lodestar and either PHD or MaxIM guiding and no issues whatsoever - never failed to calibrate, never failed to guide (except with an HEQ5 mount that I found I was under-powering slightly). I use a 10 year old laptop to run it all, and that thing has never missed a beat either (just changed it's original battery today).
Gimmicks are usually just that, unfortunately.
Get a decent guidecam and run SharpCap polar align routine and you'll have NIL problems.
