Pete,
Yep, let's get back to Astronomy!
I found quite a few improvements over the EQ6.....
Most important was the power connection, a huge improvement...the EQ6 would cut out at the worst time due to the flimsy connector;
The mounting plate connection is much more secure;
The Altitude bolts are more robust and easier to use;
Slewing is much quieter and more accurate.
My guiding software seems to work better with this mount.
The only negative I have found so far is the hand paddle is a bit slow to react after pushing a button...... but that really doesn't matter as I mostly use 'Starry Night Pro' with a wireless hand controller.
Thanks for your interest!
cheers, Phil
