HEQ5/EQ6 Upgrades

Hi all,

I was wondering what peoples thoughts are on the upgrades to the HEQ5 or EQ6 mounts. Currently I am slowly improving my telescope and making it lighter ie, change tube to carbon fibre, swap 3 vane spider to 4, getting a new secondary mirror, new crayford focuser. The aim for doing all this is photography and since my budget is somewhat limited (wife wont let me get a loan) I have to do it over a long period of time

The mount I eventually want to get is either one of the above mounts with some sort of modification so goto's can be performed or even use through a computer.

I just need some sort of idea which to keep away from and which are quite easy to install/use.

Thanks.
