Skywatcher goto/synscan dob

Thinking about maybe getting the upgrade kit that converts a standard dob to one with goto/synscan, but not sure if it's a good idea or not. Have heard that the tracking probably isn't suited to deep sky, but it might be OK for planets? Mine's the 10" solid tube, so it weighs a bit and I don't think any of the cheaper eq mounts would take the weight. Would be interested to hear from anyone who has a dob with goto/synscan what their opinion of it is, especially the tracking. Haven't found any videos yet that really show how it tracks. Cheers.
