Argo Navis.. Bartel..

Hi all

I'm about to hit the button to purchase an Argo Navis but I've decided to muddy the waters at the last minute

I'd love goto/tracking on my dob but wasn't really considering it due to $$$. If I were to pick up a second hand Bartel system, would that fit the bill? I know the simplicity of the Argo Navis is part of its appeal, and that the Bartel is more complicated, going through a laptop (Dos/Win 3.1 at that).

What are people's thoughts? Is Bartel a world of hurt and frustration compared to the Argo (different beasts I know, push-to versus motorisation) or would I get the best of both worlds? I don't intend to go Bartel + Argo due to cost.

Have read some of the old threads, but would like some 2008 opinions

Thanks in advance
