EQMOD all the way if you plan on using it in an observatory, it's also handy in the field if you have AC power available for the laptop. There are so many different things to try also.. EQtour, EQMosaic, custom tracking rates for comets and asteroids etc... Once you sort out the alignments etc.. you will have a ball.. I used it on an EQ6 and now a HEQ5pro both are easy to use and I love slewing around with the gamepad... The Gamepad you can get cheap ones about the place and many gamepads are supported... I got mine for $15 off gumtree..
Good luck with your decision, it's not something to be afraid of, there is plenty of help here and on the yahoogroup if you run into trouble.
