I went down the EQMOD route for my EQ8 originally because it was the only way to operate my scope entirely remotely. I constantly had difficulties with it's pointing accuracy and spent forever building pointing models that barely improved things. I have been told it works much better with the 5/6 series mounts.
I did try an earlier version of GSS which looked great if nothing else, but then I discovered that Skywatcher had released Synscan Pro App which connects to the PC using exactly the same cable.
The Skywatcher app is basically an ascom compliant handset replacement of course, but the built in pointing model is superb and I've been using it ever since with absolutely fantastic results.
I still have EQMOD loaded though, the killer feature for me is the custom tracking function that can be used to follow asteroids and comets. Because they all use the same cable, you can swap between them in the same session easily enough remotely so it's a Win Win Win.
