Hi David,
I prefer a mini pc setup - more configurable & the wider range of equipment choice. Most of the gear I run now is ZWO, but when I had my SCT was using a Celestron focuser and I'm considering getting a OSC 294 to pair with my mono but it may be a QHY to be able to use the unlocked Bin 1 mode - and neither of these are ASIAir compatible. And I have no idea how the ASIAir would handle the ASCOM compatible flat field generator I'm planning on adding too.
It really does come down to personal choice & a lot of people are very happy to stick with ZWO gear & the "plug & play" nature of the ASIAir. But it's not for me - the configurability, options & regular updates to the free software I use are more important. And once you get to know the software you're using it isn't a big issue if you need to do it again from scratch.
Cheers,
Mark
