2" SCT focuser

I'm thinking up upgrading my Tal 200K standard 1.25" focuser to a 2" one for imaging. This isn't as simple as taking off the 1.25" and putting on a new 2" focuser, as it requires a whole new backplate and adjustment of the secondary mirror to achieve focus when using a diagonal.

So, I am after a SCT focuser. I'm not really after a motorized one. I plan to use a canon 400D for imaging. A 2" extender maybe required and a focal reducer will eventually be incorporated into the image path as well.

What's the standard Bintel 2" SCT like? What's it's load capacity?

Edit: Actually need a low profile one.
