I have used the EV-1 and moolight focusers on my mead LX200R and have a feather touch 10:1 micro focuser on the main mirror focus. I was not happy with the performance of the EV-1 and changed to the moonlight crayford....enough said. The moonlite crayfords are as solid as a brick and are great for AP in the correct configuration (mine has a stepper motor and is driven by the moonlite controller giving perfect repeatability) and will support very heavy loads without problems such as flex, tilt etc. I also have a 2 speed moonlight on my refractor and am very pleased with the smoothness and lifting capacity of the unit (rated to 3.5kg or there abouts). That said I imagine you would be equally happy with the feather touch and people really rave about their qualities. It really depends on your intended use.
