I got the ServoCat for the tracking capability as well as the slewing. The ArgoNavis and the ServoCat are a great combo. At our NAS public viewing nights when a lot of people like to come and have a look I just pick the object of interest on the ArgoNavis and then hit one button on the remote controller of the ServoCat and it's done!
Once the objected is in the FOV it stays there and I go and have a cuppa while people are stepping up having a look.

I would not build another telescope unless I had the ArgoNavis and ServoCat to put on it.
