(sorry if this is hijacking Bert, but you're way out on the tip of the performance curve here and its fascinating to learn more about the options)

Regarding the Microline 16803, you give up the USB hub and aux power connector. Those are great for connecting the filter wheel without an extra power adapter to manage. You also have a fixed download speed as I recall. Anyone I know who has used one, loves it. Those may be small features to give up to save weight on the optical train. I would still add the FLI Atlas focuser to the RH200. You will not find a more solid, flex free digital focusing device. I have one on the FSQ and the 16803 and sware by it.
