I am running the Orion version (Atlas AZEQ-G) which is identical apart from colour and labelling.
It has proved an excellent mount for both visual imaging puposes. I ditched the handset and mainly use EQMOD via a Bluetooth connection and SGP for plate solving and it works fine that way. Polar alignment is very easy with the better designed adjustment system compared to the old NEQ6 or my old HEQ5. I regularly guide with total RMS in PHD of 0.65" which works out fine at the image scale I am using.
Other nice points. The power connector is threaded, dual encoders mean you can manually move the mount without losing alignment (useful if you need to check balance in the middle of an imaging run) and it is nice and quiet.
