If you're keen to do some visual with a newt, the az is a massive plus. EQ only means some funky viewing positions unless you get some tube rings that allow rotating it, which are pretty pricey.
Seems there are some quirks of the az eq6 that people discuss here a bit (search function should find em) but without a doubt, that's the way I would go if visual is any kind of priority with a newt. And yes, 2 scopes are doable in az mode
