I've not seen the EQ8 in person but I've owned two eq6's and two heq5 pros, a G11 and gm8 losmandy mount and I have used a mates titan. I can say with authority that the synta built mounts are not even close to the mechanical quality of losmandy gear. I had no idea that the paramount mx was that cheap (in relative terms of course) and that being the case I think you might be hard pressed to beat the mx. That said I've seen a titan perform effortlessly with 45kgs on its back.
I had at one stage well over 26kg on an eq6 and in the right conditions, balanced just so, the mount performed beyond my expectations, but the old saying does go.. "skimp everywhere you need to except the mount "
Id rather have a cheap 8" newt with a dslr on a g11 without goto than a ccd on a 4" tak on a heq5 pro.
