[Wavytone]

Bought and sold in 2011. I don't recall the version.

Anyway.... As the recent thread from Sydney Observatory shows - analyse your needs very carefully because the solutions others are happy with may be inappropriate for what you want to do.

I had sold all my gear long ago in 1990 and looking to put together a new setup from scratch after a long hiatus, went with the SXD on the recommendation of someone I knew, without thinking about it more carefully. I was dubious from the outset about the size of the worm wheels vs the aperture of my scope and as far as I'm concerned the old rule still stands - their diameter should be no less than 50% of the aperture. Anything smaller will be wobbly. Plus the tripod was too flimsy IMHO. I know many of you break these rules with your gear but I wasn't impressed.

Mistake was mine. Also my eyesight has deteriorated after 20 years, more than I realised, to the extent that in the dark I effectively can't use a Starbook of any vintage, though a Synscan handset or some Astro apps on an iPad are fine.
