$6000 including 3x 10kg counterweights and WiSky module.
Purchased earlier this year, but have since acquired another Paramount.
Sturdy and accurate mount, MUCH quieter than the EQ6-R when slewing (if you're worried about waking the neighbours) and its large Az and Alt handles make it a pleasure to PA, setup and use (I regularly get within a few arc seconds of being PA'd.
It really is hard to describe the jump from EQ6 to this, and compared to my Paramounts ME and MX, it's a really portable package.
Performance wise, I've used it for 2400+mm focal length work and gotten <0.8 arc secs tracking without much hassle.
If you are looking for the original SkyWatcher pier, they're $1200, unused.
I have the original packaging in deep storage, so it might take a while to get to it over the break but it is available.
Note: because I can't abide 12V car power adapters I have modified the original power cable to use Anderson power pole connectors, there are 2x cables included - it also includes a 12V auto to PowerPole adapter.
More pictures available if required, but if you've seen one you've seen them all.

Reason: reformat for clarity
