Chris, I would probably go with the Berlebach Planet for your use and ask them to set the leg angle wider than the standard 23º.
The EQ8 is 25Kg + 20Kg of counterweights + close to 20Kg for your scope all kitted up on a pier extension is starting to get very close to the max on the T-Pod.
(I have used both the T-Pod and Planet)
(The best tripod for your use is actually neither of the above but a Takahashi TMT70300 for the EM400 with a custom adapter, SWL 450Kg !!!)
