Gibraltor mount with DSC

I'm thinking of buying a Gibraltor mount as my principal mount for several small telescopes I have. I'd like to get digital setting circles for it and was wondering how easy/difficult it is to retroactively install the encoders for Televue's Skytour DSC. Also, has anyone used another brand of DSC with the Gibraltor, such as the Sky Commander DSC? Thanks.

I have a Gibraltar with JMI encoders and a Minimax computer.

I added the TV Skytour system to the Telepod head on my Panoramic mount. Took about 10 minutes to install, no problems, works like a charm. I wasn't enthusiastic about the scroll/menu on the computer, but after using it a few times, it's acutally easier to use than the Autostar on my LX90.
