Digital Setting Circles on Losmandy GM8

Does anyone have any experience using DSC systems with Losmandy mounts? I have a fairly new GM8 and have considered Gemini V2 but am primarily a visual observer, hence the DSC could be a great help locating objects and spend less time finding them.

Wildcard Innovations did supply systems for Losmandy but I believe Losmandy stopped supplying encoder kits? Likewise I am not certain if others (Sky Commander) provide a DSC solution for Losmandy.

One fellow astronomer told me DSC systems were not ideal for equatorial mounts and suggested I opt for the Gemini Go To?

Any recommendations?
