As a rule for imaging, you want to get a good mount as your number 1 priority. You can get decent images with a less expensive scopes if on a good mount, but a $5000 scope on a bad mount or one with a low weight capacity will disappoint. I have the same mount and have been very happy with it so far. Has some scope to upgrade gear later on with it's 20kg weight capacity. Just be aware that it is a reasonably heavy unit and can get a bit tiresome if not in a permanent setup setting up and tearing down each night. You mentioned using the scope for visual. Newtonians on EQ mounts can be a little problematic as the eyepiece ends up in some odd positions. I cannot comment on the scope as I have no knowledge of it. I know that the Saxon newt I had was not very well made as far as the collimation mechanism was concerned, hopefully that issue has been addressed if this is an imaging scope, newts need good collimation if used for imaging.
