However, the Mocha route is a lot more tricky for a novice since Mocha doesn't directly stabili | | | | |

Are you talking about the point tracker or the camera tracker.
The point tracker is pretty much the same as the point tracker in Shake or After Effects. Some guys I work with don't think it's as good as Shake's but I don't have a problem with it.
