Nice one Greg. I've use a 1200 goto for years in my home observatory (supports my Honders), and have 2, PME's in Oz. The big difference between the 2 mounts is the meridian crossing. The last gen of PME leaves very little room for meridian crossing, whereas the AP 1200 can go quite a few hours across, so I rarely need the dreaded mount flip. The new PME II has addressed the meridian crossing issue.
I think the PME is an excellent mount, but being forced to only use TheSky software is a worry. The recent Daily Build update for our SkyX, killed some features. That's always a problem when something mechanical is so software centric.
