The dual speed focuser upgrades have no bearing on whether the focuser is a R&P or a crayford. It's simply a reduction gear to rotate less for each revolution of the fine focus knob. You should ensure that the spindle is the correct size for the dual speed upgrade.

It may be tricky trying to find one in stock in UK, 365astronomy are out and told me it maybe a few months before available. And I haven't found anywhere else that may have one. But you may have better luck finding one.
