Hi Ken,
My scope is on the CG5, I find the GoTo great...sometimes it goes a bit psycho though (once in a blue Moon
). If you are still thinking in a few weeks, you can have a look at mine at Ballarat. I see Andrews has the mount for $1249, now flash upgradeable. I can fit the whole tripod on the back seat or screw the head off and put it into the boot. So portability is pretty reasonable.
Cloudy Nights also has a review that compares this mount to Meade and others, have a look.
