I am sure you will be happy with the mount. Just to demonstrate what I mean in balancing the dec axis. These two pics are without moving the scope balance wise. To start with the mount was counterweights down as though it was pointed at the pole. I released the dec clutch and rotated it counterweights level for the first image. For the second, all I did was rotate the RA axis a little more so it was counterweights up (and caught the OTA before it hit the tripod leg. It is substantially out of balance.
That trick will help with balancing the dec, RA is a matter of doing the best you can with a preference of being a little counterweight heavy. )
