Both Saxon and Sky-Watcher may come out of the same factory but I’m not sure they are identical. A brief glimpse online from a local vendor shows a $300 difference and for that you get 5 year warranty instead of 3 and a dual saddle. (This for Skywatcher). Not sure if one is built to tighter specs or has better quality control. Perhaps ask the vendor you intend on buying from to explain the differences in detail and go to each manufacturers web site and look at the specs.
Of course advice from users is invaluable both pro and con and hopefully you will get enough responses to make a valid argument for one over the other or something different altogether.
