EQ mounts are best left to the astrophotographers. They are a pain in the neck for visual observing. Literally.
A cpc is a good scope. I had the cpc1100.
Easy to set up and good views.
But honestly, as said above, a 10" dob will show more details for half the price even with goto.
Good luck with whatever you decide.
I admit the cpc does look cooler than a dob
But are after looks or performance.
