Hi Hemi.
Nice breakdown of pros and cons of both units.
I have Asi air and Stellamate.
Though I still have a learning curve ahead with
the Stellamate, I agree, it can be a little tricky, but
yes, it gets there.
The Asi air...total plug and play, very simple to navigate.
Particularly user friendly for DSLRs.
To add to your comments re operating systems.
I use both my units with native wifi and wifi extenders.
The range can be a little limiting on both units,
especially the asi air.
Doing this also enables me to use a Windows
based computer for both.
Stellamate has its own operating system for
Android and PC software.
Asi air, in my case was only for my Android devices.
An added bonus is that I can at times run three
Android devices at once.
Very handy for Electronic Aided Astronomy, (EEA).
I downloaded Bluestacks 5 on my Windows 11 PC,
and downloaded Asiair Android app via Google Playstore.
Works a treat !
Simply start your PC. Log onto the Asi air wifi,
open Bluestacks, click on the Asiair app and
proceed as usual.
I would recommend either unit, but remembering
Asi air caters ONLY for ZWO cameras and add ons,
except for selected DSLRs.
Stellamate supports many brands including ZWO.
Both are multi mount compatible.
Paul.
