Just received my new Sky Commander XP4 and it seems very nice. I just Flashed it with the latest Data Base. Nice to have named stars and objects now.

Floyd,

I thought you've been using an Argo Navis box recently. Is this a replacement for that or maybe for another scope?

P.S. I like my XP4 quite a bit, especially the part about not having to set the scope to a "home" position before aligning on two stars. The new databases are a plus too...
