Altitude adjustement is nice in AZ-EQ6, but I do not like that bolt sticking out a fair bit - need to be careful with organising cords (camera and filter wheel) so they do not wrap around it.

I do not suspect that there will be much difference between EQ6 and AZ-EQ6 in PE. Anyway, I did not notice a huge improvement in PE when I upgraded from HeQ5 (with belts: http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...d.php?t=100503 ) to AZ-EQ6.

In both of my mounts, to some degree, PE can be controlled by careful adjustement of the worm gear.
