Default Focusers

Hi,

I'm going to purchase a 2" Crayford focuser with dual-speed drive to
put in my Meade SC LX200 14" OTA. I've three models to choose:

· JMI model Event horizon EV1C
· Starlight Instruments model FTF2015BCR
· MoonLite Telescope Accessories Model CS2-m

All tree are very similar, but with some diferences.
Has anyone experiences about them?
Which is more practical for visual observation?
Which is more comfortable to use it?

Advanced thanks,

Solstici

Hi:

These are all very similar focusers...my personal fave is the
Moonlite. That said, you might want to try (as at a star party) before
you buy. Frankly, I prefer the Feathertouch replacement for the main
focuser to a Crayford for visual use.
