Both the Celestrron and Meade models are based on CG5 mount and really not suitable for real(?) astrophotography due to large PE and backlash. HEQ5-Pro oe EQ6 have PEC and can be easily autoguided due to smooth PE. Both the latter come with PAS that makes easy polar algnment for visual and goto. See review in IIS.
PS at the moment I am running and autoguiding an 8" SCT with no problems on HEQ5-Pro mount
