[APML] Celestron or Meade Off Axis Guider



I am currently considering the purchase of an off axis guider, having decided not to go down the path of a separate guidescope just yet.
 
The two choices that I am looking at are the Celestron Radial Guider or the Meade Off Axis Guider.
 
My OTA is a Celestron SCT 9.25 inch installed on a Losmandy GM8 equatorial mount and I tend to use the F6.3 focal reducer for most prime focus shots.
 
My research thusfar indicates that the Celestron RG is the better unit as it appears to have more flexibility with adjustments than the Meade OAG (though it is more expensive!).
 
Any thoughts, recommendations or experiences to assist with this purchase?
 
Many Thanks,
Rodney W.
