One of the big advantages that seems to get overlooked is that the sliding dec bracket allows you to get the camera very close to the RA axis. That means you need much less counterweight.
I used my Star Adventurer for the eclipse in Indonesia with a DSLR and 80mm refractor.

I've also got into the habit of always removing one of the batteries as it's very easy for the power switch to get bumped into the 'on' position.
