Paul.
sorry mate, I have been a FT convert for ages, but digressed lately when I built the 12.5" truss, and found a decent price on a M/L unit.
But, it isn't built as well as the F/T, I am sure. Ron though is superb, THE best to work with.
Having had a VC200L or two though, the biggest snag is the filed correction lenses that Mr Vixen sneakily slipped into the draw-tube, you have that angle covered surely? I am sure any competent lathe worker could, it's just that I know you are not one of them, LOL.
Performance comparisons? I still believe the FT "feels" better, and am certain it will last longer. The Digital drive is great, expensive, but great. The Moonlite one is a fixture I believe, whereas the F/T is user removable, and at a later time.
Servo? Not sure, I use it with the H/C, but have also used it with the auto-focus routines in Maxim and also AstroArt.
