Late addition to the thread...
I've got ( and sometimes use!) the Meade OAG, Celestron Radial guider,
Lumicon 2" Newt OAG, a no name brand sliding mirror OAG and a Taurus Tracker III.
Although some of these are designed for SCT threads you can easily find a 2" adaptor.
I agree the only problem, (then not really!), is finding a suitable star in the FOV. The TTIII, and Celestron allow good radial movement, by design. My ST4 and/ or the QHY5 guide camera ALWAYS seems to find me a suitable star....
Having said all that. I've also got to admit I've mounted a ST80 on the LX200 and when fitted with the QHY5 works wonders!!!!!!
I comes down to choice. If you want any info on any of the above units, I can supply details.....
