Hmmmm....now you guys have got ME thinking again....I love my Gibraltar/Sky Tour/TV101 combination. Just recently received the AP130EDF which weighs about what an NP127 does. I wonder if I could adapt a Gib 5 to work with my AP scope?? Anybody done these mods? I'm not quite sure what would be required to adapt the AP on a flat bar to the two hole mount on the Gib. Maybe just a drill n'tap operation to insert a couple of those mounting studs??

Thanks everyone for your feedback, both pro and con. After much consideration, including toying with the DM-4, DM-6 and iOptron MiniTower ideas, I elected to go ahead with a Gibraltar + Sky Tour. I ordered the walnut Gibraltar with Sky Tour for $1435, no sales tax and free shipping. I also ordered a Starbeam finder (currently I have no finder on my TV-102) and the Televue bronze "equalizing" 1.25" to 2" adapter to aid in balancing since I do use both 1.25" and 2" eyepieces in abundance.
Regards,
Jim
