Crayford focusers

Hello,

Its been a while since I've put out a thread. Can people advise what the difference is between say a standard 10:1 Crayford focuser like the one available at Bintel to that of a Moonlite or Feathertouch.

The question is really pertaining to a newtonian scope. Is the price upgrade from generic brand to one of the above noticible and worth the price? Is the feel, quality, material, workmanship etc, etc make it worthwhile to upgrade.

I'm expecting an analogy between a Commodore and a Ferrari here somewhere ! And for what its worth I drive a Commodore and apart from its usual failure of mechanical parts over x years, it does the job. Similar to aperture feature, there is no compromise for roominess in a big car.

Heaps of detailed info appreciated !
