I think the HEQ5 is a happy medium. The only thing it lacks compared to the AZEQ mounts (unless you really want to use Alt-Az mode) is the dual encoders to allow manual slewing without having to redo alignment and it is obviously cheaper than an EQ6.

In just depends on how far down the slippery slope of AP you slide, the next step usually seems to be a 6 and it just goes on from there.
