I read an older thread here discussing the two mounts and it seems an eq 6 won over both the celestron and the eq5..
Maybe I should think about a losmandy???
A static tripod and high iso???

It can be confusing, but I think you can narrow it down to the HEQ5 or Advanced VX, both of which are much more portable than the EQ6. Choosing between the HEQ5/AVX comes down to preferences in the way you like to operate them. eg. if you like using EQMOD then the Skywatcher HEQ5 becomes the obvious choice.
I don't use a computer and like to use StarSense Autoalign so the AVX is fine for me. StarSense can be purchased for the Skywatcher mounts too but it's more expensive.
Or you can go super portable and use a DSLR with lens and a simple tracking mount.
Perhaps what you really need is for someone to tell you want to buy and stop offering choices
