You get what you pay for, generally; the SXP is a lot more expensive
than the Az-EQ6.
Incidentally, the only Vixen product I have owned [about 30 yrs ago ]
was the worst mount I have ever owned. I got my wife to bring me a new
Super Polaris back from the U.K. It had a severe tight spot in R.A. Had to
leave a HUGE amount of backlash to eliminate it, and the clutches would
lock up, so I had to dismantle them to free them off. I imagine things have improved since then.
Your polar alignment must be waaay off if you are limited to around 30secs with your ED 80.
You should get at least 100-120 secs with reasonable P.A.
