An interesting bunch of opinions here. Hadn't realised the 40D had Live View and seemed a good option ( Thanks Humayun). I will check out the prices on that model. As I earlier mentioned my real target here is to get a better focussing method and the bahtinov\bright star\liveview seems the best way to go. My eyes are not what I'd wish them to be and trying to peer at a small LCD screen magnified or not on some silly angle just doesn't work for me. I am lucky I made the UTA on SK II rotatable so I can normally get it at least somewhere comfortable.
I will also motorise and gear down the focusser via probably a stepper motor system so I can control from the desk.
As has been said, $$$ are the governing force here, I cannot justify (afford) $1000's on the latest and risk pulling filters etc out but I'll find $4-500 at a pinch and work from there.
In the meantime the KM 7D is working well enough to experiment and learn.
