I don't like the altitude adjustment on it. It's too jumpy when under the strain of carrying a full rig, so when you're doing PA and have to do fine adjustments you can easily apply too much pressure and jump way past what you intended.
Also, at least, mine, has horrible PE. I know this can be evened out with PemPro and the like but I'm paying thousands for this mount, I expect much better performance.
I have managed to tame it and am getting better guiding (0.7-0.8 RMS) but that's after a lot of fiddling around adjusting the worm gears, tightening the belts and tweaking the settings in KStars.
Personally if I was to buy another mount I'd look for something else and consider spending a little bit more money for something better.
