Could I get your opinion on the Feathertouch focuser?

Hi Ed,
not sure if I am the right guy to ask, as I have a foot in the F/T camp. I have had Moonlites in the past and dealing with Ron is a very pleasant experience, so am not looking to put the boot in there.
Equally so, the Starlight folk, Det and Brig, are a delight to deal with, and if pushed maybe I would give the F/T the edge in lastability. Both are good, but if it helps, I have the 2020BCR on my 10" newt, and a Tak Micro (made by Starlight to give 10:1 control on the Takahashi focusers) on my Epsilon 130.
I am about to get the motorized unit to fit both of these, and give PC operated focus control.
The main thrust of this is that top quality is available closer to home, and for virtually the price you would pay if you buy direct from them. Most are happy to buy via the internet, but others are still reluctant. This will help perhaps.
