In particular, stepper motor resolution in CEM-60 looks promising, since it is over twice of that in AZ-EQ6.

Yes, the encoders are much bigger on the CEM60, and therefore more accurate. If I did'nt like the ability to readily switch AltAZ to GEM that the AZEQ6GT offers I would definitely consider a CEM60. Its a very nice instrument.
The CEM60 is lighter to carry , but I have a permanent OBS so that's not a issue for me.
