Sure beats the complicated PA routines so many PME users seem to have to go through to get accurate PA

Yeah, permanently mounted, but I've also got a 10" portable pier to suit.

The 'Sweet 16' replaces the venerable 1200. As he said in the vid, it had to come, to address the needs of users (like you) with very high-res imaging equipment.

Re PA, she comes with a software suite from Ray Gralak, Pempro2 etc. I think there is a neat little PA feature in that, to adjust PA in real time. Otherwise, the PA scope does look nice.
