i cannot compare, but my 127 on goto works well, is fairly portable and the setup time is good.
if you do your alignment as accurately as possible (esp by defocusing stars and using zoom to further center dead on), goto is remarkably accurate and the tracking is good. remember to round gps coordinates towards the closer figure.
battery pack will last a while, but now i got myself a big lipo battery (portability is premium and these give a lot of power in a very portable small pack), heated dew shield, etc.
btw, when making up my mind, i was also torn between 100 ed and 127mak...and went for the later for portability.
