I have been imaging with my C925 on it for the last six months or so and it guides to about 0.6" pretty reliably. It is not impossible to balance, just a little harder than an EQ6 and needing a different technique. If I was being smart I would re cut it's pier to tip the top plate down towards the south. It might make polar aligning a little more tricky but it would allow the RA axis to be dropped down below the vertical to release the clutch better. Rules out using it in ALT-AZ mode on the pier though.

Visually, with care taken to level the tripod top and care to center the alignment stars well it was pretty good for gotos. It was quite rare to need to put the widefield EP in the SCT to find the target.
