Ok I have owned both, well had a NEQ6 Pro for years, modded it with a belt drive, etc, used it both in the field and pier mounted. I sold it and bought a CGX in late 2016. The CGX is a much better mount in my opinion. It has a true 25kg imaging capacity, whereas the NEQ6 would struggle with over 15kg on it. If your only visual then the NEQ6 is fine. Just because your present gear is under the NEQ6 weight limit, think about the futurw. Always buy the best mount you can afford, it is an investment. The CGX tracks and guides much smoother than the NEQ6. Early CGXs had some factory setup issues but that was sorted out long ago, have not heard anything concerning in a long time. Great mount in my opinion, but it is not what i would call portable. It is much heavier than the NEQ6. Mine is in my observatory on a pier, where it shines.
