[QUOTE="archive10, post: 1010112"] Agree, but will point out that the Laminas 1.2 is one of the lightest 1.2 options available, and weighs about half what the Gibby does (I have both). So should you want H2H performance, then my understanding is that a Laminas OFC1200 is really the most suitable choice for a normal motor operation. As with all the other posters, I'd say a PM + actuator is sturdier, faster, and less backlash. But has less range, and requires VBox + actuator, dedicated cables to power the actuator, and room behind the dish for the PM and actuactor. And suffers from market availability - new PMs for 120-150 cm dishes are hard to find these days except for the Gibby one. [/QUOTE]
