i would recommend the JMI unit. They have been about for a few years now and
have proved there worth many times over with many happy owners. I've just
bought one used one from Andy Dobson in NZ on astromart and I'm very happy
with it. The best thing about the JMI gear is you can always sell it on for
around the price you paid if you buy a used unit. Mine came with the DRO
hand unit the whole kit in the UK would cost £550 I cant bring myself to
tell you how little mine cost.
I sold my 1206, to much image shift in my 10" classic
Try astromart they are always on offer.
