You're right, my EM-400 is definitely no slouch. It's a gem of a GEM but it may not be able to carry the weight if my future plan for a 12.5" perhaps tandem mounted with my TOA come to pass. Maybe by the time I can afford a new OTA Planewave will have a 14" so the more capacity I have the better. It's not just about having a solid mount either. The PMEs robotic features, seamless integration with TheSky, higher accuracy and persistant TPoint model are also good drawcards.

Thanks Dave - funny thing though - the pier and scope adaptor plates are a month away so my baby will be sitting on the bench for a few weeks! I'll be sure to give it plenty of coochy coo, who's your daddy baby talk though while it's waiting!
