Yes I have that kit and loved it. Since I'm using it for a 10" f6 mirror I have to modify the cell anyway. I'm getting 400x-500x razor sharp images regularly on Saturn and Jupiter with the Cassini division as sharp as day and night compared to the A and B rings (I thought I can see glimpses of Encke's gap as well last Saturday evening at 430x). At these magnifications you do need to get some kind of tracking platform which is my next project. There is no issue with hand tracking at 300x and below mags.
In short, I won't hesitate to recommend this kit for your premium mirrors (mine is John Lightholder's certified 1/18th PTV primary and 1/30th wave Antares secondary)
