This is probably a little left field but it may be worthwhile doing a little more research/consideration of the Vixen mounts. Granted the Vixen Starbook 'were' legendary from about 2003-2010 for being bad and unsuitable for AP but Vixen have spent almost ten years systematically improving the starbook software especially for southern hemisphere users. PEC, backlash etc is all there now. If you move up from the basic SXW to the SXD mechanical improvements are evident. If you decide to toss the Starbook for the NexD boards the mounts are said to be excellent. Finally, if you go for the even bigger spend and one of the current generation of mounts with Starbook 10 - Vixen have finally learnt from their past mistakes and the problems from their past mounts are gone and Vixen have finally achieved what they had aimed/hopef to provide almost 13 years ago with their mounts.
The catch of course is price.
