Hi Leon,
I'm not trying to start WWIII, but I do disagree with part of your argument about the timer remote.
I used a timer remote initially (worked fine), but have now changed over to using a laptop and controlling the camera through it.
The real benefit is being able to look at the laptop screen from a comfortable seated position. To focus using the DSLR screen when pointing at the zenith is just not fun. I have to have a laptop beside the rig to run PHD guiding, so why not use it to run the camera too?
You have to look after your own back - no one else will.
