I don't know if Meade still make their derotator - or, if they do, if it works with the RCX as well as the LX200 - but it's got a fairly dreadful reputation, i've read many grumbles about it over the years and struggle to think of anybody who got it working well. So I suspect you'd be disappointed.

Fundamentally the idea of a derotator is fine, they're used in many professional observatories. However, I don't think the idea ever translated well to amateur equipment.
