Any experience with the Hobym Crux 170 or 200 HD

I'm in the very early stages of looking for a high-end mount. Something along the lines of the Paramount but I will NOT be going that route as I'm not a fan of the company. I've also looked at the 10 Micron GPS2000 mount as well. It's a little out of my price range though. I've run across very little video of the Hobym other than Quiv the Lazy Geeks videos regarding the baby mount of theirs. He was not pleased with it but the larger mounts do not suffer the same problems from my understanding. I'm hoping there's someone here that is using the 200HD model because I have a few questions.

Good luck with the search Greg.
I just watched a video on Harmonic Drives. What an excellent design that is! No backlash at all! That has to allow some very accurate guiding.

Harmonic drives seem to be becoming more common but while looking at the specifications of this one I could not help but think that the Vixen SXP2 or AXJ have the same capacity at 50% the price.
I have seen some reviewed that have incredible capacity and tracking capability but I like to eat every day.
