My best and most consistent results were with V1.2 Build 35. I am sure others be giving their 2Cs worth...

I haven't tried 35, but 40 was certainly problematic (it's no longer offered on the Vixen website as a download) and Version 2 works very well with my SXD, smooth RA and Dec motion and good GoTos.

That's certainly good to hear.
