Tak NJP is a wonderful mount, but VERY heavy (once on a pier, who cares). Will only operate GOTO with Stellarium or similar (unless you can find the very scarce Tak GOTO system, which costs a good amount, and is actually pretty yak! I had one with my NJP), requires a specific guide cable (about $45), and the counterweight bar is the screw thread type - you can't lock the counterweights in a certain position without altering them.
Plus the price is not that cheap either (mine was $5k, third hand, but with the large tripod, GOTO system, power supply etc)
