Agree on the SCT focuser issues. I did two things with my Meade LX200R out of sheer frustration:
1. Got a Feathertouch focuser from Starlight
2. When installing it I ran the mirror up and down the full play of travel to distribute the 'grease'
Very happy with this focuser and the results. The 10.1 fine focus is great for imaging and I've stopped using the meade motor focus unit completely. I get rough focus, lock the mirror and then just use the fine focus
