Threads have indicated upgrades required for new scopes. Thinking about getting a new 12" UHTC and SMT. Threads indicate upgrading to stainless steel bolts/screws on tube, changing the DEC knob, changing to metal gears instead of plastic, problems with hand controls. Is there more I should know about before I buy one? Looks like Meade would upgrade these problem items, even if it cost a little more initially. Paying almost $4K, I wasn't expecting there would be this many after market upgrades. Would appreciate any suggestions as to what are the best upgrades, where do I get the upgrade items and any other suggestions users may have. Never had a SCT before and wondering if the optics, drive, tracking, focusing, and motors are as good as advertized. Thanks in advance for any info provided. --Vic
