The one from Vixen is $430 and the Sky Tracker is $350, plus it has a small polar scope to point at Polaris for set up. Looks pretty good for the money and maybe good for up to 5 min. exposures? Any thoughts on this?

(search 'skytracker' one word). There is an Italian video on youtube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCEZQPsBWtQ which gives you a better look at the device.
