Hi Glen,
Although the physical and software set up may be similar between the alt-az and eq mounts, there's a fundamental difference in the way they track. You must have polar alignment with the EQ. Even if you point it perfectly south using a compass and use the state of the art inclinometer it will still give poor tracking. Alignment under the stars is the only way. And as Ken said, it would be barely noticeable the difference in tracking rates.
Have a shot and let us know the results
