Replacing ED127 Focuser

hi everyone,

I've been looking at replacing the focuser on my ED127 from North Group(NG) with a moonlite.

After reading various posts in IIS and looking at the moonlite website I am confused as to which focuser would be the correct replacement as the one on their site for the ED127 doesn't look like mine.(mine is CF version)
NG have changed the focuser a few times over the years and the current incarnation looks a lot different.
Most peolple seem to uprgrade to the CFL version of the moonlite with the 4" draw tube, would this still be the correct choice, (my tube only extends 8cm's not 12 like the previous versions) or would the 3" be the correct one, looks more like what I've got.

When replacing the focuser do you remove it from the 3" section from the rest or does the 5" part need replacing too. (see pic)

Thanks for any advice.
