Yep Mike, I hope all the info people are giving will help quite a few others too.
I was going to wait until camp to do an investigative snoop around and see what is what and value for quality etc. But I have made up my mind already. After reading all the help in here, reading many reviews, talking to the 2 commonly known Telescope suppliers, and emails back and forth with owners of mounts and the great help from Dave47Tuc helping me understand a lot, I have come to the decision that I am getting a HEQ5 Pro with V.3 Synscan.
It has proven to be the best for my money and will happily carry a larger load than my ED80 later on.
It will be several weeks before this model is available so I won't have it in time for camp.
I thank everyone for their input. It has not gone to waste.
Just because I have made my decision doesn't mean the conversation has to stop here though. I'm sure others like Mike for example would like to know as much as possible about making choices between different mounts.
Here is the one I have chosen:
