I have a HEQ5 but it's not the pro version and does not have an autoguider port. I'm now at the point where I'm well and truly over squinting into an illuminated reticle eyepiece to manually guide photos. I have the option of getting a Synscan upgrade kit for $600. If I was buying a mount from scratch, I'd make sure it could handle an autoguider - though you many not think you'll use one straight away, a few weeks of photography and you may well start wanting to use that feature.
btw, I also have the ED80 and am very happy with it.
