Nice shot Mike, and good to see a few of the New Lambton Observatory as well, nice looking setup.
While I too am leaning towards an OAG, maybe you could try the finder-guider setup like I have. Converted 50mm finder, with (in my case) a Lodestar or ExView guider fitted, solidly. Mounts close in on the saddle, and is a "fixture" with the saddle and mount, regardless of the imaging scope.
Worth a shot anyway.
