Also consider the Vixen Sphinx Deluxe - which has carrying capacity (15 Kgs) like a GM-8, excellent pointing, tracking and PEC, but costs around $2,500 vs the $4,000 for the GM-8 plus Gemini.

Wait for more replies too before you decide.

Critical questions you need to ask include:

1) how heavy a load do you wish to use - this affects you choice of mounts.

2) how longer images due you wish to take - a rig that can handle a heavy load for a 20 minute shot is alot more demanding than a righ that handles a modest load for 5 minutes. What parameters will you operate within?
