I have one, and am happy with it.

The polar align feature is a neat trick. I don't use most of the time, as I can see the SCP (and do a polar align with sharpcap). But if you can't see the SCP, or travel to different sites, the feature is very useful.

I had an eq6 and was looking for something that was a more updated design. I did look at the ioptron CEMs as well, ended up with the Cgx. It was a sweet spot for capacity, it had the extra bits I was after (spring loaded works, home switches etc) and didn't cost the earth (just half an earth).

From what I've read, there was some early QC issues with the mount that appear now to be sorted out. Celestron are good with return and repairs (when it was necessary) which made me feel better, in case I got old stock/a lemon. Turns out it wasn't necessary and it works fine.

Happy to answer any other qs.
