Well... I have had two G-800s, a G-1000SDX and a G-100DXA over 15 years,
and never had a moment's trouble. The only reason for 4 rather than two
was a direct lightning strike on the tower that fried both rotators.
One uniquely nice aspect of the DXAs is that they are
computer-interface-ready - an inexpensive interface such as the German
ERC will plug right in with no surgery inside the controller.

I am replacing my old broken Yaesu 2800sdx rotor. Looking at either a
Yaesu
2800DXA or a Hygain T2XDX.
I have a cushcraft 2el 40 and a Bencher Skyhawk tribander on the
tower.
Howdy --
According to the rotator specs in my UP THE TOWER book, the T2X has
1000 in/lbs of rotating torque and 9000 in/lbs of braking torque. The
2800
has 2170 in/lbs or rotating torque and 21,700 in/lbs of braking torque.
Clearly the Yaesu is the superior rotator and has NONE of the traditional
problems that the T2X does.
