AZ-EQ6 or Vixen SXP

I really like taking pictures of what I see (or can't see) with my ED80 and EQ5 Pro mount. I'm considering upgrading the mount with the hope I can reliably get 90~120 second exposures without autoguiding.
It's also inevitable that I will buy a bigger scope subject to board of management approval so hey, gotta go bigger.

I want accurate alignment and tracking in a portable mount. My eyes are on a Vixen SXP with Starbook 10, or a Skywatcher AZ-EQ6.

Has anyone had experience with both mounts, including some astrophotography, who would care to proffer an opinion on which one they would buy or recommend?

Jim
