I use an AO8 on my ST10XME which isn't a big chip now.
I still think it is worth while using the AO though even at slow guiding rates. If your mount is reasonably good the mount never needs to have any guiding corrections. All of the guiding corrections are made by the AO unit. This means moving a tiny piece of glass rather than 18kg of scopes.
If it corrects some seeing effects as well then great but it is more the ease of guiding corrections. If it could also use multi star guiding then great but I haven't seen any software to do this yet.
