Skywatcher All-View is a much underrated mount - it is good for scopes up to 100mm refractor, 127mm Mak or 5" SCT - I had one and sold it last year when I upgraded. Buy from BHPhoto.com and save a bundle on local prices. Handset has full GOTO functionality and runs off batteries or can be connected to a car or mains etc. This offers all the software bells and whistles of the bigger AZ-EQ6 but in a much smaller package and at a fraction of the price. Only downside of this one is the tripod, which may be a bit flimsy depending on how big a scope you put on top.

Also there are the swiss AYO mounts, several to choose from...

For all the bells and whistles:

Skywatcher AZ-EQ6 (I now have one), and
iOptron iEQ 45 Pro is available as altaz.
