There's a review in this months Australian Sky and SPace - not a great review - more a very kind review. I note after alignment it says pointing is +/- 6 arc minutes. My Vixen Atlux at half the cost does twice as well (before MaxPoint which brings pointing to under 57 arc seconds error).

The Adjusted PE is around 5 arc seconds (again more than double the Vixen).

Bottom line - this carries alot of weight and it does look like the DEC design minimises backlash very well. The Handcontroller is no way a Gemini or SkySensor - more a toy in comparision.
