Hi Matt,
I have a EM200 Temma 2m mount, excellent mount, tracks beautiful, fit and finish is superb.
I wouldn’t exactly call it a portable mount though, the mount alone weighs about 14kg. As for the timber tripod it’s quite large more suited to refractors so I went for a Tak metal adjustable tripod. If your buying second hand just be aware the polerscope is fixed in position and has a limited life, after that you’ll have to use a different method. I think mine expires 2026?
The new models have built in wifi and USB interface where as the earlier model’s you’ll probably want a wifi portal. Using wifi you can control the mount with Skysafari on your phone or iPad etc

Good luck with decision
