The R200SS I currently have has a GSO/Bintel Crayford on it. Considering I am using an SXVR M25C OSC CCD, I have no need for a filter wheel, and I can get away with a slim OAG (Teleskop-Express version ordered). Shouldn't be any issue with focus or weight, but we shall see.

If anyone has an original R200SS focuser, give me a yell - I LOVE the original Vixen R&P,s simply because they hold a tonne, and I have become EXTREMELLY used to focusing them (having only Vixen optics now). I dislike Moonlite very much, but may give one a shot if I cannot get an original if the GSO fails to satisfy.

There is a good article online of a guy installing a Moonlite to his R200SS, and the trials and tribulations he went through, greatly assisted by Moonlite. I'll try to find it.
