The EQ6 is good value for money for the weight it can carry, though you do have a trade off in that it's periodic error (regular gear induced tracking error from out of round/none centered worm gears etc) is worse than more expensive mounts (normally). Having said that many imagers are turning out fabulous shots using the EQ6. Just don't expect its performance to be that of an Astro Physic Mach1, but at around a quarter the price you wouldn't expect it to be.
