Hi Glen,
Not sure if the Neq6 does change its tracking rate based on the object. However I've had no issues viewing different objects. But regardless of tracking rates, it shouldn't drift out of view within a few seconds. There are many many people who use the NEQ6 for visual without any issues so it must be a setting or polar alignment issue. Is your current iOptran an alt-az mount? If so then yes its set up will be much easier as it's an alt-az mount. EQ mounts must have good polar alignments to work, alt-az mounts just need a level surface and be pointing roughly south. So any EQ mount requires a different approach to set up due to the way the work. If you bought an iEQ45 you would have also had the same problems.
Try doing good polar alignments and then see how you go. I found marking the position of the legs with a marker or gluing washers an easy way to set up in the right spot every time
