Final piece of the telescope puzzle

Hi all, been collecting some gear on various classifieds and now have a SW HEQ5 pro mount and a William Optics Megrez 90.
After taking delivery of the Megrez, I have found that the L bracket on the telescope has a Losmandy style dovetail attached and the HEQ5 mount is from what I can gather a Viexn style saddle? (Am I correct here?)
Do I look for an adapter between the losmandy and vixen or do I just buy a vixen dovetail and see if that will be compatible with the L bracket on the scope?
It's my first verture into telescopes and I guess I need guidence with the mount to telescope hardware.
I dont even have an eyepiece yet - a couple are on their way.
Goodness knows the mess I will get into when trying to actually setup the mount so that it can find things and track effectively.
Any help in the dovetail / saddle alternatives will be greatly appreciated.
Bruce.
