Tak eventually replaced to the TOA focuser with the new 'B' style, now 'TOA-150B'. Same 4" focuser as used on latest FSQ. I was quoted $1,000 to upgrade to 'B', but after advice from Marcus I too stuck with the original and went with RoboFocus.

You could also go FeatherTouch for complete focuser upgrade (a very popular discussion in the US and Tak forums) but by the time you purchase the FT focuser, adapters and FT motor to suit, looking at $1,200+ and whopping great lump of original focuser rendered useless and near impossible to sell!

Agree with Greg, focuser needs to be considered carfully in a 7k scope purchase!
