I haven't really seen that. If you look hard enough online, you can find detractors for just about everything. Even more expensive mounts still need a service (AFAICS), although how one goes about servicing a GoTo dob, I don't know.

My option #2 has been to create a dob base for a 10" SW newt I already own and add argonavis
That does kinda change things. If you don't want/need tracking, that's probably a very economic option.
