Crayford or MicroFocuser

About a year ago I asked for opinions about the various Crayford focusers (JMI, Apogee, and William Optics) for an LX90. I did not purchase one at the time but I'm still thinking about it. However, I recently read a description of the Starlight Instruments Microfocuser and was wondering which is the better way to go, as the Starlight costs about the same as a Crayford. Any suggestions?

I just bought an Intes MN56 that is fitted with a JMI NGF-DX-1 2" 2-Speed Crayford Focuser. All I can say is WOW. It functions infinitely better than anything I have touched before. Incredibly smooth and precise.
