I have been using an Orion /M squared RC2800P for 5 years now to rotate
402CD and TH 11 without any problems.  Just added a Force 12 80meter rotary
dipole to the stack and the 2800P handles all of it just fine.  Nice control
box as well that you can control via your PC using a serial port.  I think
you will be quite satisfied with it.
