Which autopilot for tiller steered boat?

[Sybarite]

Here is just one more consideration. Where is the nearest repair facility?

One thing is certain, whatever system you buy will break at some point. You don't want to be sending it across an ocean and trying to contact them by telephone in another language. If the nearest repair facility is close to you, fantastic. If it's on the other side of the world you will have nothing but trouble.

My nearby repair facility quoted me a repair which was more than the original cost..... for the ST2000 - 2 months out of warranty...

I am tending towards the TP32 UK price £519 or best French (for the time-being) €659.

There won't be all that much difference after shipping and exchange. And it's probably better to have the seller at hand.
