Hi, Jeff, i know your problem well and it's all a bit confusing with what is on the market today we are are all spoilt for choice. I have a Skywatcher GTI and after a few small problems with the earlier releases. They seem to have. Some of the bugs out my first one had backlash problems. Which i knew i could fix myself. But didn't want to void any warranty.so i sent it back. the price is right for thes mounts so i kept at it and iam so glad i did my replacement now is great to use tracks great, but you cannot overload these mounts originally i had a w\o 90 on it but with camera guide scope etc it was too heavy.keep it portable and this mount does just that the tripod is also important i got the skywatcher tripod as well all up $1400 i my option this mount is as good as it gets and let's face it all gear has some problems you have to overcome somehow but if you want portability this hits the spot ,i suffer with bad arthritis and i can move this around no worries and it has now become my main choice of mount and i have a few hope this helps
