If CEM-60 tracks better than AZ-EQ6 and if it can be operated from a PC, then it would certainly be worth consideration.

The AZEQ6 is also complete -- ie: the tripod is included !
Can't offer much info regarding CEM60 popularity
, but I would have one if I needed to replace the AZEQ6, buts that's unlikely as the AZEQ6 is very well designed and built. I think it the best medium sized mount SkyWatcher offer currently.
I was very impressed with the CEM60 tracking ability with the current Comet Lovejoy
chasing -- the iOptron allowed enough detail of the comets attributes to be retained in the handset that my friend could simply recall the saved object detail -- by number unfortunately as there is no alpha inputs with either handset -- and the handset computed and goto'd its exact location. My SW handset is too dumb for that !
I don't know anything about CEM60 <--> PC control apart from updating the software. Which is a very straight forward task -- BUT read the install instructions VERY carefully as its easy to misinterpret them !
