As I said it is a nice and clever unit, as well as good weight capacity, however I may be pendantic: if you wanted to do some animation of the images, after the 2 hour run, rewind recentre the target or jump to another scene. Not my cup of tea, really.
This shouldn't be a Holden v Ford thing though. We all know that EVERYTHING in this hobby is compromise and personal preference. The Starlapse won our vote due to the longer exposure times possible ie. longer tracking on the same object/area of sky, and the versitility of using it as a paning head. The AstroTrac is a very attractive product and 20+ 5 min subs widefield should yeild some nice imagery. I only wish we could afford both.
Can't really talk about the other devices that have been discussed here. No experience with them and from memory there was not the versitility or the cleverness of the other two.
