Yep toyed with that one as well.
A very good alternative and relativly cheap.
You do need to get that ring accurate though for photograpy but quite doable.
They lend themselves very well to cheap friction drive using the ring rim and the weight of the scope for the engagment force required . Good for portability as can be seen in the pic.
Seen in big observatoies and JIMS Mobile scopes that use a bent tube for the ring.
Notice the little one in the back ground.
