Wide field setup - GOTO?

Hi All,
I am thinking of switching to a widefield (250mm or less most likely) setup and I'm the about getting a GOTO mount, as from what I hear the star adventurer is a nightmare to move to your target accurately. The goal for this setup is minimal time setting up, and minimal involvement necessary so I can enjoy doing visual at the same time. My current vision for the setup is: The asi1600 plus filters of course, a 135mm samnyang plus geoptik adaptor, an ioptron smarteq pro, and a NUC pc or ASIair possibly. The reason behind the smarteq pro is that it is the cheapest Goto mount I know of. (The Goto eq3s seem to be ripoffs!)

Please let me know what you think!
Thanks.
