Lee,

AlfaSpid... http://www.alfaradio.ca/  the hands down winner..!   Worm drive, 
and NO Brakes (therefore, no brake delays) needed... Enough torque to rotate 
a VW Bug..!

The only rotator I'd recommend beyond the AlfaSpid would be Prosistel... 
http://www.prosistel.net/  Expensive, but worth the $$$.
They will rotate an Abrams Tank..!

All the rest are...????   (ok, no flames please..!)
