Ah, but 2nd hand, if the EM200 is available with wooden tripod for $3600, and the G11 with tripod and Ovision Worm is $3500 then it gets more interesting, hence my interest.
There are so many conflicting opinions on the EM200, many that say the G11 and EQ6 aren't even in the same league, to others saying don't touch the EM200 and definitely go with the G11, and others who maintain the EQ6 is 'close enough' anyway.
I was hoping someone who had owned at least two out of the three units would chip in with their experience. The report of plastic gears in the EM200 has me concerned!
I'm interested in something that is a little more portable and easier to polar align than the EQ6Pro, and would be great for Astrophotography with a decent sized refractor, but could also handle planetary work with my 10" LX200R.
I can't stretch to an AP900 or NJP or anything in that league though.
