Ah, a tiller. Yes, a tiller installation would close the complexity gap
considerably but I have a wheel.

I very much like the appearance of something that is part of the boat
instead of another thing bolted on the back. Personal preference but I also
get a frame strong enough to support an effective emergency rudder and some
other things.

I won't argue about final choice but anyone, especially with a wheel, should
look closely at the Cap Horn.

BTW, I have looked at the Windpilot. Getting my boat ready for those "4
bolts" and wheel control lines would have been a considerable amount of
work as well. The Cap Horn took a lot of days but they were short days a
ways a way under less than optimum conditions. I also installed an electric
autopilot and reinforced a bulkhead at the same time.

The control lines need only one or two block each, with two you get them
better out of way. It took me two hours to install the Windpilot. I do
not know if this picture is good enough to show how it is:
