Best Focuser Replacement for ED100?

I have a single speed focuser ED100 that I want to upgrade to dual speed and improve imaging carry capacity, rotation if possible, etc. For those that have replaced the stock Skywatcher focuser, what are the options and which is best in your opinion?

Hi Glen,

I have replaced stock focuser in my 80mm Orion telescope (similar, if sometimes not identical to Skywatcher) with Moonlite focuser and it eliminated problems with focuser sagging I had with the stock one. I have also replaced stock focuser in TS ED 102 refractor with bigger motorised version of Moonlite - the best telescope upgrade I have made.

Moonlite.

Feathertouch would cost 90% the cost of the ED100
