What do you mean by overkill? A more basic platform than what I have will be cheaper than a servocat and much easier to install (no cutting, drilling etc). And any platform will give you tracking, offer longer exposures than the servocat and use less power. (e.g. the compact platform here:

The biggest disadvantage is the bulkiness compared to the servocat. That is a deal-breaker for some people.
Cheers.
