l have a Meade LXD75 mount with Autostar Go-To and either a 152mm Skywatcher refractor or a 250mm Skywatcher reflector.
Reflector $1450.00
Refractor $1600.00.
both come with 8x50 finderscope, rings and dovetail plate.
the mount comes with battery pack and charger.
both scopes have 2" R&P focusers.
prices are plus postage.
the refractor balances with the supplied counterweight but the reflector would require extra weight.

Mick - no worries, out of curosity though - what do you think of that mount as a step up for someone who wants go to? As a seperate purchase what do you think they are worth, and if you hadn't got that one, what else might you have purchased?

as a separate purchase probably around the $800- $1000.00. apart from this mount and maybe the CG-5 which l do not know a lot about there is nothing in the lower price range that l know off. even second hand an EQ6 with go-to is going to cost $2000.00 and above and in that case l would save some money and buy a G-11.
