EQMOD goto accuracy with sync points

After using the Synscan handcontroller for 8 months performing 2 Star alignments and PA alignment routines I thought the goto accuracy was pretty good until I progressed and started using EQMOD and sync points with my planetarium Stellarium a month ago. I found accuracy to be extremely good if I use 3 sync points in a triangle around the object I wish to image.9 times out of 10 the mount hits the target spot on which saved time with slew corrections and centering.I just take a test image, set up my capture plan , get the guiding underway and hit start capture.
I cannot see me using anything else for a quite a while as EQMOD works extremely well for my set up

Have any other newbies progressed from the Synscan handcontroller to EQMOD for goto and experienced a marked improvement on their goto accuracy?
