Guiding and mount control??

OK, I've got to ask.....
Our "usual" guiding software (PHD etc.) can provide guide correction signals (+/-RA and +/- Dec) to within 0.1 arc sec (depending on the guide set-up) but how accurate are the actual MOUNT corrections??
Even if you pulse the corrections do you ACTUALLY get this level of drive control from your mount???
I'm thinking of the generic HEQ5/NEQ6 SW mounts.
Open to discussion/ comment.
