Seems like quite an expensive upgrade ... Money that could buy a really nice ep or two to compliment the scope...?

Great report! Sounds like you have a very sweet scope with a beautiful mirror. Congrats! FWIW - I bought Argo Navis direct from Gary Kopff in Oz - cheapest option, no import taxes. It works great and is simple to align - <1min. I know that Gary offers first class support - and the manual is top notch.

Great thread! I continue to be delighted with my 250px solid tube - 4yrs on! I thoroughly recommend the Lacerta 10:1 dual speed focusser upgrade (eg sold by TS). To me, this was a really great buy, beautifully smooth, and rock solid mechanically - made a big difference and a joy to use. Also, I only realised this year that you can buy the kits for Argo Navis - and I've installed - nice and easy. This is then an investment that can be ported later if desired to a larger scope - kits available from Wildcard Innovations for wide variety of scopes.
