I'm with Jerry on recommending the M2 OR2800.
The Green Hornet RT-21 you have will work beautifully with it, (better than the M2 controller) Look at it on the DX Engineering web site. ( I am not affiliated with DX Engineering :-)

It also fits in the tower nicely because of its triangular shape.

Hi Tower Talkers

I'm planning to replace the TH-7DX on my tower with an Optibeam OB17-4,
which is a much larger antenna. I'm now looking at my options with regard
to rotators beefy enough to handle this antenna (~27 sq. ft. wind area).

Which of these would be sufficient to handle an OB17-4? Alfaspid RAK (the rotator currently on the tower), an Alfaspid Big RAK, or a Prosistel PST61.
I don't need a controller as I already have a Green Heron RT-21.

Thanks,
Jerry
