If you purchase the mount on its own then it depend on what scope you place on it but generaly I prefer the counter weight as close as possible to the mount , put the center of gravity more in the middle and thus a more stable set up , however this can make the scope set up heavy if you want to move it around
I am not sure what an EQ3 mount is , skywatcher here are EQ3-2 , or EQ5 etc
Lots of so called EQ3 mounts on the market that just dont work, is yours is similar to a CG 4 mount , if so then its a EQ 3-2
