If I understand this correctly, Guide 8 doesn't allow MEC for LX200 systems. Are there plans to correct this any time soon?

I was looking at Prism, which handles this for LX200, etc. but they just doubled the price for the new release to US$150 even though it's got all the image processing features (which I don't need).

Thanks.
