Also, thing is about the PME, there is huge software support for it, many apps have dedicated drivers (thru The Sky). You dont see them come up S/H much, because theres no upgrade to anything else (non pro)!. It also has thru-the-mount wiring, I dont know if the AP1200 has that, big bonus. Both the PME and AP1200 are probably too heavy for regular portable use, and anyway as far as standalone use goes, a lappie in the field is no extra burdon after lugging a mount like that. The PME has a Joystick contoller too, so at a pinch that could be used to slew around without a PC.
