I just can't see one lever for both pan and tilt being that secure or easy to use. I can live with the additional half pound for features and beefier support.

I'm not following you. The 488RC0 is exactly the same as the 488RC2 except for the camera plate.

Samir,

When you say 'rotating collar' are you referring to something like this Wimberly gimbal?

I also don't care much for piggybacking a camera to a scope because of balance issues. If you want to autoguide, I've found a side by side arrangement to work out better.
