SB responded fairly quickly and I did not expect them to send a new worm without my asking. So that was nice. It does perform better than the earlier worm which also originally was very good.
At the time I was peeved but in hindisght this is a small industry with boutique producers and high tech equipment. I think for the price, its capability, its integration with software and T-point modelling etc you are able with some work on your part, have a top class mount that should last you a long time. You may or may not depending on current QC have to do some fiddling. Whilst I don't agree with it, this is an unfortunate thing in our hobby that you are often required to fiddle with expensive gear to make it optimum.
For $7995 its a lot of mount for your buck and you get a lot of sophisticated software with it as well. Its currently the best value I know of. What else is there in that league for $7995 including several softwares? (SB will give you CCDsoft for free as well if you are not using it currently).
