They are eminently suitable, and many an older member like me would have given their back teeth for such a rig, but it all really comes down to whether you firmly intend to remain with an ED80 or ED100, or graduate to larger scopes. The NEQ6 is overkill for an ED80, an HEQ5 would do nicely. If however you are likely to go larger than an ED100 or 6" Newtonian, the NEQ6 would be needed.
Those items you mentioned are sufficient to get you started with learning the dark art of AP, doing unguided subs up to about 60-90secs,
depending on your polar alignment accuracy, but you will need a guide scope and camera, or off axis guider, for longer subs.
