Thanks for the advice. Are you saying that if I want something bigger than 5" then I should go to someone other than those two vendors?

No just that if you are looking for a scope with a larger diameter than 5" then you should consider a larger mount such as the EQ5 or HEQ5.
Most of the mounts you are describing (the generic EQs mostly come from China in not the same factory) Andrews can offer cheaper prices than most other dealers as they only sell, they have no telescope repair shop and limited after sales service, which suits some. I'm not sure about Myastroshop, though feedback from others has been very positive.
Bintel and others have higher prices for often identical epuipment. Those suppliers that operate out of a shop eg Bintel often check the products and do a basic presale service,before they leave the shop as well as offering a higher level aftersales service.
