Interestingly the stated controller is the autostar II version which I love.

Line the two mounts up - the LX800 and the AP Mach1 GTO bear more than a small resembelence ... looks like meade has done another re-badge -re work job ....
Looks like no more than an Mach1 GTO, with autostar II , and an autoguider built in - having said that - Autostar II is relatively well sorted, as is the GTO, so depending on the quality of the autoguider, should be a good package....
