Yeah the assisted polar alignment and PAE functions aren't the same.
With the align->polar function it slews away from a star of your choice and then you adjust the alt and az bolts to centre the star again. You need to re-run the star alignment after this procedure. Using this at the weekend I reduced my azimuth error from 10 degrees to a little more than half in the first iteration. Plenty good enough for visual and the gotos were good all night with my cat, as they should be!
