I had the NEQ6 before the AZ version came out and wish I was in a position to upgrade. The AZ is a little lighter (1kg apparently). For visual the AZ would win on eyepiece placement but I mitigate that by using a Baader Clicklock visual back which works really well in allowing the diagonal to be rotated with minimal effort and disturbance to the mount. The altitude bolts, and to some extent the azimuth bolts, are a headache when polar aligning on the NEQ6. The slew speed doesn't bother me with the 6.
If you're only visual then you'd probably be OK with the AZEQ5, but thenAZEQ6 just gives you more headroom.
