Craig Stark (PHD author) had a shootout in the Oct/Nov 2008 AstroPhoto Insight between various Meade DSI's, Orion Starshoot autoguider, Atik 16-1C, Fishcamp Starfish, Opticstar PL-130, Imaging source DMK 31AF and the Lodestar.
The Lodestar came out tops with the cleanest, deepest images.
Be aware that you may have to wait for one. Mine took 2 months from AEC in Adelaide, although they recently got a shipment.
