The Vixen Sphinx Mount

Since the price reduction, I've been considering the purchase of a Vixen Sphinx equatorial mount and would like a bit of feedback from owners. I have read a number of positive reviews but have some concerns and questions regarding the brightness of the display screen, software issues, the stability of the tripod for astrophotographic use with a 101mm Tele Vue refractor, any matters that I should be aware of in general, and so on.

Thanks in advance for your opinions.
