There are several more brands out there, at the Tak / AP end of the market, and if I were to buy something of that order I'd go with a friction drive or torque motor / encoder system. These are virtually PE free and guidance systems are all but redundant, absent in some cases.
It seems to me that the 'affordable range' of the market is missing that technology - possibly it is inherently expensive to produce, though I'm not convinced.
Certainly, I don't mean to knock the Losmandy, it is by all accounts a good mount and has served very well. I had hoped to find an alternative technology within the same price range, but it's not available at this time, or so it seems.
Thanks for all your advice.
