Greg this maybe a bit OT, but what do you find lacking int he Sphinx. Is it the Starbook that is the main issue or something else mechanical? From what I have read and heard Vixen's are usually very good mecahnically speaking and are often overlooked because of the starbook. How does it compare in your experince mechanically to Tak or G11's?
If I had the money I think I would go the AP900 over the EM400. IF only you could use the AP GTO ont the TAK. But another thought occurs to me can you retrofit the Tak with a diffrent Goto system? I think it uses servo motors and I use my Gemini Servo motors with a Sitech controller. Could the Tak servo's be wired up to a GeminiII or Sitech or AP GTO? I know Parallax Instruments mounts come with AP GTO. And I think even MI250 had the option for AP GTO. I know there is at leastwas one person on the yahoo groups for Stiech that converted his old AP non goto mount to Sitech.
Is the Tak motor and encoder wiriing intergrated to the controller box internaly or is it a external modular connection like the G11 Gemini setup?
