Lester,
I really don't have mirror flop with the SCT, or if I do its minimal. I use the fudged spring and bolt mirror lock on the Meade sometimes but its generally not necessary. I should post a set up of my guidescope at some stage as I spent a lot of time getting that right and finding all the small weak points in the train so that there is no flex at all. The only downside is that of added weight, thats why Im experimenting with the built it OAG of the QSI.
I agree OAG can be a pain but its the ideal situation to employ when it works and you have a "good" guidestar.
