subject: Actuator arms...

I'm looking into replacing my acutator arm, and want to get something that's 
a) rugged, and b) very accurate (for Ku watching)...
Is there a consensus amongst the folks here about what's good?  I've had 
good/bad diatribes from dealers about the von-wiesse (sp?) arms, some swear 
by em, some swear at em... All admit they're the quietest, but what about 
accuracy?  What about longevity? (One dealer says they use a nylon nut on the 
threaded shaft, which he says is a failure looking to happen...)  My current 
actuator seems to do about 5-6 ticks per degree (as measured on a monterey 
35, and I'd like to find something that would double that, or better...)
Thanks,
Mike
