I would highly recommend the Pyxis rotator. I have a lead counterweight bolted to the SBIG tripod socket with a simple metal bracket . The weight balances out the CFW10 nicely, taking a bit of strain off the pyxis and preventing slippage due to connections unscrewing themselves. I also had a Pyxis-AP2.7 adapter made by PreciseParts which improved the pyxis connection.
I wouldn't mind an a08 either but a MOAG and the pyxis will not fit my current rig. I am considering making a narrower OAG than the MOAG to squeeze in an a08.
