The losmandy system is effectively the clunky old G8 with the wings pulled off it. Although the weight capacity of the Polarie is limited, I'd much prefer the Polarie or the Astrotrac.

Also, consider the Pentax O-GPS system. For less money than the Polarie or the Star-Lapse you can get a DSLR and tracking system and not have to carry extra gear.

The sensor in the camera moves instead of the mount moving, so you can place it on a standard tripod. It works a treat.
