The mount can be made work well within certain areas...pointing straight up or best at 47 degrees..the best thing you can do is work with it and appreciate what you will need in time and what to look for.
I started with useless mounts but I tunned them as best I could and really with todays short exposures both those mounts would cut it uniguided...
And be excited that you have the gear you do as you can do some neat stuff really.
