I'm kind of in the same boat as Fred actually. I tried it with my LX200 classic and never managed to get my PE better than I get it using the standard built in PEC of the LX200.
I know that many others have, so I was probably doing something wrong, but fact is in the 30 day trial (within which I managed to use it about 5 times) I didn't get it sorted, and it became not worth my time so I gave up and went back to the built in LX200 PEC and autoguiding.
I haven't ruled out trying it again some day though.
I've found PEC in the Gemini on my GM8 to be excellent, so hadn't even considered using it there.
Edit: I don't remember it needing other software but can't be sore because I have TheSky, CCDSoft, etc running all the time anyhow.
Edit2: My PEC training on LX200 and Gemini are always done using autoguiding, to get it as accurate as possible. If doing it manually perhaps I would have seen more difference between built in PEC and PEMPro.
