Thoughts on the Gemini GOTO with GM-8?

I am planning on getting a GM-8 and I find the Gemini an interesting option. I am wondering if anyone has any experience with the system?
Do you like it?
Have you had any problems?
Was it worth the extra money?

I live at the edge of a suburban area. The sky is not always very good where I live. Also, I do not often have a lot of time for observing or I am tired latter in the evening. I find the latter it gets at night the less successful I am at finding objects with my alt / az mount. I want to get a nice GEM mount and I am considering the goto on the GM-8. I have a FS102 refractor.

Thanks in advance for your help. Paul G.
