Why do you prefer the EQ6? over this?

Hi Roger,
In terms of portability AVX is better. I used to move it to Alfresco from backyard with GSO RC 8” (around 8KG) attached, comfortably. Without OTA its super portable.
I think its fair to say AVX+OTA = EQ6Pro.
In terms of quality (not sure if its an issue with my belt mod EQ6Pro), OTA when attached to the EQ6Pro shows more vibrations while the mount being moved/slewed manually, even at rate 2. However, the mount movement was much much smoother with AVX.
Thanks
