I would argue that seeing and high periodic error (smooth) would equally be corrected with an AO. Infact the SX AO example has been a pet hate of mine since I looked at it.

Who wants to spend 2 grand on an AO and not polar align their terrible mount?

Not that I don't think a great mount is the way to go, mounts are mostly simple mechanical creatures and I think If I had the money I would rather a reliable low PE mount than another thing to troubleshoot.
