Question Skyscan or Autostar or Argo-Navis

Greetings all, its raining in Adelaide so I have lots of time to think ahead.
What is the opinion regard of upgrading of old eq mount?

Synta Skyscan has a reputation of robustness and
2 stepper unclouded, you need to make a specific
gear train for the worm ~$1000

Meade's Autostar is cheap (~$250 controller plus the LXD-75 motors (?),
has the benefit to setup for different worm gear ratio.

Argo-Navis is the most sophisticated controller,
but need lots of mods plus motors with separate control electronics.
All up probably $1500 bux



Don't know, chip in with your opinion.

Miklos.
