EM400 seems good. I think it is much the same as the NJP only a bit beefier but perhaps Tak also upgraded other aspects of it.
Tak mounts are definitely good and user friendly. I keep hearing the PME is in a whole different league. I will find out in the next few days. Its certainly a much larger and beefier looking unit.

Planewave also make a nice mount, roughly the same price as a new PME but can handle bigger payloads 125kg almost double of the PME. The High Res encoder version is about $18.5K. 
I saw the Planewave mounts. I'd like to hear some user feedback first though.
I start up my PME tomorrow.
Greg.
