I've used the Takahashi turret a couple of times, and found it to be a great addition to a nights viewing pleasure. Having several EP's ready to roll, in a pre-set order of magnification, without fumbling around in the dark for them is a real boon. Only potential problems are dew control and focus position as said. The total light path isn't that long when comparing it to a 2" diagonal anyway, so it should't pose any real problem. If you are handy, you could make a 5-way heater without issue. Keep caps on until required. The prism that Takahashi uses is pretty darned good, and I don't think that anyone I know of who's used one can say that there was inordinate light loss. It
is by Takahashi... They ain't cheap though.
