201xt autoguider

I am looking for opinions and advice on the 201xt autoguider
I want to get into CCD but I think I want to try 35mm too. I have heard a 201xt is a pain to use. Whats up and is there anything better for both uses?

Problems with the 201.
For one your never sure if your in focus because you cant see an image or chose a star. Problem two is your not sure if you have a star, or noise, as the 201 isnt cooled.
If you use a 216 its cooled, and you can see an image to focus, and chose a star. Also, If you use it with Maxim DL it will correct tighter than a pixel like an ST4, or so Im told. Try not to get a 201. A used 216 would probably be cheap.
