Hello Ivan
I have had my CGX for just over a year, I didn't use it much for the first 6 months as I was building a 3m domed observatory for it.
When installed it may have had a dodgy RA motor, Bintel replaced it with no questions or problems - it wasn't tracking.
I am using it with CPWI software and am very happy with that as well, would I buy another one or recommend it to a friend? yes on both counts.
It is the first goto mount I have owned and I'm in a fairly remote location so I can't compare the CGX to other mounts, but, my only " I wish it was better " would be the polar alignment adjustments. Celestron could have used a ball screw for both axis's, the DEC axis has some backlash on the screw that means you have to hunt over the sweet spot, the RA uses two screws that move the mount left or right by loosening one and tightening the other. It gets easier but it could be better, I guess there is a price point the have to build to.
In all honesty, I wish I had the money for a Paramount MyT ( I want to be able to track the ISS ) but the minister for war and peace was against it and I am happy with the CGX.
