I did my EQ6 with quite a while back with this for the same reason as you, it is SO much better to use! It isn't cheap but if you are on a mobile setup it is nice and easy to use.

One other alternative would be to use a QHY PoleMaster, get it aligned and then put your kit together. Not functional if you want to setup before sunset though.

My only reason for suggesting this is that if the wedge isn't under load it doesn't play nice with the PoleMaster in that there is some "flop" for lack of a better term. Fine when under load but can shift when load is put on if that makes sense.
It was something I noticed when setting up my EQ6 for wide field photography.
