Might not some of the payload 'confusion' for this less commonly used mount be the difference between using the mount for visual purposes in ALT-Az mode versus imaging in equatorial mode.

In visual use there is considerable variation among users on how steady a mount must be to satisfy the user and it would also vary whether you were using a short tube or a long tube etc.

I have assumed the HEQ5pro would be the sturdier mount in general, but I would hope that the belt in the AZ-EQ5 would mean that it was a little smoother if used in its comfort zone for scope size. Oops..read the offline comment now, I do not men to extend any arguments..
