I must admit, for some reason the polarie does not grab me - I am leaning heavily towards the StarLapse. I know the astrotrac is light and small etc, but being able to bolt on a dec axis and have a GM8 equivalent with the ability to autoguide is quite appealing. Also - I havent weighed them - but the 5D and 70-200 2.8 are quite hefty, and the beefier build of the Losmandy system would be comforting.
