I ponder that more expensive mounts exist for a reason, and the owner of a less capable mount may be quick to dismiss them without sufficient understanding of their capabilities and purpose.
Ambient sky glow primarily results from sodium based street lights, and their are filters that target exactly this wavelength for under $200. And this wavelength is uncommon in stars so it shouldn't dim them!
I'd be interested in understanding when you say a cheap mount can achieve 90% of the capabilities of a far more advanced mount what you are using for your comparision and what factual data you have that clearly shows this result with some accuracy and precision. It sounds seat of the pants with no clearly agreed scale or capability set you are basing this outcome off.
Can you be more detailed in your assessment please?
