I think the Skywatcher mounts have a similar feature to the Celestron ASPA.
(Edit: I checked the manual and Skywatcher has essentially the same all star polar alignment feature - section 11.3 Polar Alignment without Polar Scope)

For a permanent setup the CGX looks good, especially the spring-loaded worms.
If you're setting up each session look at the AZ-EQ6 - I think it's a better mount than the EQ6-R because it's a few pounds lighter and has a better latitude adjuster.

I've added Starsense for Skywatcher to my mount so I'm using the Celstron controller. (starsense for skywatcher costs 1/2 aussie price if purchased from the UK).
