If after a cleanout and adjust of the r&p you're still not happy ( I wasnt), I recommend you try a crayford. I have the gso one and im happy with it. It fits the same mounting holes as the standard r&p.
In short I would avoid complexities like electric focusers as it detracts from the main beauty of using a dob, simplicity and freedom from wiring and gadgetry
