Yes PME is quite different and I think the difference is its a mature platform and had years to refine out any bugs.
The three way switch is not something I would want again though.
The other bugs I mention are PMX specific and I was not referring to my PME at all. Really PMX issues boil down to slipping cam on the 3 way switch, PEC not loading and working reliably, t-point seems to me to be more difficult than with PME and the Sky (more complex, hidden settings not mentioned in the manual that make a difference etc).
T-point is not that big of a deal as it will work eventually if you work at it hard enough. Its just not easy.
So bottom line is the mount has potential but as Chris summed it up its not a mount for the faint hearted or someone who wants to set it up and be imaging straight away. It has a level of complexity to it that could see many nights setting and refining and debugging and learning before it reaches it optimum performance.
I guess I was particularly peeved when I only go to my dark site infrequently and then its bugged and does not perform wasting the few nights I had.
Greg.
