And yes, I do read that Meade USA are in dire financial straits and others have questioned their business model and competence, but maybe, just maybe, the TDM product could be a ridgy didge fair dinkum product and it might just deliver what it claims:

Looking at Peter Wards list, nearly everything he mentions has nothing to do with the mount but to do with other things, i.e polar alignment, differential flexure, refraction and so on. So I reckon if you can add something to a 1600 AUD mount that gives you better PE than a Losmandy or even a far more expensive mount at a far lower price point then go for it. Having souped up the mount in this way there is nothing to stop you using a guide scope a well.
