Stars are round even from those using cheaper mounts which is a testament to the quality of the guiding.

Could not agree more with you Greg. Having an all-in-one solution solves a few potential issues and simplifies the set-up. I have learnt my lesson by going through 3 different filter wheels and also 3 different OAGs, although I must admit that SX's mini filter wheel with integrated OAG is also a very neat and reliable solution for small CCDs.
Funny enough, AZEQ6 is my 3rd mount too, so it looks like my next mount will be a keeper!
