I found that my polar aligned HEQ5 tracks considerably better than a 12" goto dob that I had BUT the dob still did well. The HEQ5 was smoother whereas at high mags you could see the motors stepping (not bad) on the dob.
As has been mentioned, for the price of a HEQ5 Pro and rings ect you could get a larger goto dob than your current 8". I've found the goto accuracy and tracking on my EQ6 far superior to the dob but the dob did a reasonable job and one that you would be very happy with as an upgrade from full manual.
