Thanks you both, pretty much the info I was after.
I am aware that it still needs aligning in either mode before it is any use (Is that the case in EQ mode if it is well polar aligned? Will the RA drive run without a star alignment?)
Regards pricing, I found that there was a pretty steep rise in Celestron prices not long after I bought mine with it goig from being quite competitive with it's Meade equivalent on price to not being so. I stopped looking about a year ago so they may have settled again since.
Just looking for options which give me tracking, the possability of lowish level AP down the track and the ability to star hop at will, hunting for something using the direction buttons on a hand controller is a pain compared to releasing clutches and pointing manually while looking through a finder.
