For visual observing my experiance with my fork mounted wedged LX has been good, i find the viewing positions comfortable right around the scope except near the SCP region . I gave up on the alignment procedures where you centre sigma octanis etc , instead now i just do a drift align which takes 20 mins on average and sync on two stars and im on my way . I like with the wedge how the OTA clears the base when pointed at zenith on the meridan . On a wedge though dampening time for vibrations is a little longer , i always leave my dew cap on so that may contribute to .For imaging i have no experiance yet .
Id think to get a eq mount to suit those two larger meade OTAs the size would have to be substantial and the cost likewise , the fork mount would be the cheaper option , somthing to weigh up i guess
