The Paramount ME is no longer available. The first production run of the ME 2 is already underway.

It weighs 85 lbs.
Carrying capacity is 240 lbs (up from 150).
Pretty much everything is bigger.
Much more room for through the mount cabling.
Two USB ports on the Versa plate.
Auxiliary kycron connector for two sets of external high current DC power (just like MX).
Supplementary 5v and 12v supplies that run off mount power supply.
guider port, focuser port for pulse guiders.
Can track up to 3 hours past the meridian (with adjustable hard stops)
