Alt-az mount (e.g. DSV-2, AYO II, Giro, M2, etc.)

I'm looking for a good quality alt-az mount to complement my heavy duty DSV-3.

It will mainly be used with a C5 SCT but preferably will also be capable of carrying a C8 or 4" refractor.

Ideally I'd like a DSV-2 or DSV-2b by Desert Sky Astro but there probably aren't many of these around so will consider other options such as the AYO II, EZ Touch, Stellarvue M2, Giro, etc.

EDIT: Originally I needed a mount with a saddle on its right side due to the dovetail placement on some of my scopes. This has been resolved and so it doesn't matter if the mount is left or right sided.

If you have one that you're willing to sell please send me a PM.
