Mark,
The example you just gave was too simple a task for either mount if set up well.
But if you were to point a 14" SCT at the Crab nebulae for a few hours then you would probably begin to understand what the quality of the mount gives you when hard targets come in to play.
The AP is also giving you unswerving reliability, night after night. I don't think I have ever hear anyone complain about there's not being up to scratch - ever!
Pick the right tool for the job you are envisaging; if its simple - fair enough, if over time it is likely to be challenging - why even consider a lesser mount when it the heart of your system?
