The VX is a nice mount, better finished than the Skywatcher offerings and, personally, I prefer the Celestron software and it does a good job of putting objects in the FOV. They have a bit of a tendency to sound like a coffee grinder, but the same is true of most Celestron mounts

Just be aware that the All-Star polar alignment routine currently doesn't work for the Southern Hemisphere but apparently an update that resolves this is in testing. So at least initially you'd be reliant on a good polar alignment for tracking accuracy.
