Meade focuser upgrades

Any thoughts on the relative merits of the Peterson "EZ Focus" upgrade for Meade SCTs vs the Starlight Microfocuser that replaces the Meade knob with a two speed focuser? Getting higher-power eyepieces (<10mm) focused correctly is very twitchy.

One of the Crawford focusers that screws onto the SCT threads is another alternative, but it seems to me that the focuser plus diagonal leaves you with a huge amount of stuff hanging off the back end of the scope.
