@Elp@drjolo thanks for your feedback, I have to say I am leaning more to SW just with the history and any issues have all been resolved or there are fixes for. Thanks again -

@SteveNickolls Yes I have read your post a few days ago and thank you for you indepth detailed reporting, I look forward to seeing your guiding update. As I use NINA for my PA I don't think I would go for the ipolar but in saying that the price difference is actually not that much so it might be worth it fr resale value. @Stefek Thanks for the info on weight, and your input in payload capacity. My delima is now this, Do I purchase a new GEM from Flo or, I am currently talking to someone about their HEQ5 with Rowan Mod which has only had 10 hours of use for a little more than half the price... -

@Stefek Thanks for that, really helpful. I read alot of variation on the payload capacity for imaging isn't what ioptron state it should be can you confirm what your experiences are? -
