EQ6 vs Astro Optical Samson Mount

Hi All,

Need some advise, trying to decide between these two mounts for my 10" reflector, and in the future a C9.25 SCT.

If I go the EQ6 it will initially be just the dual axis drive version, and use the EQ6 Direct drive method to get goto.

The Samson has RA drive but a DEC Tangent arm so goto is out of the question without major modifications. But would easily carry the weight of the 10". I have the Advanced Astromaster DSC that I could possibly fit on to this mount.

Those who own either or both please comment on the portability of these mounts.

Regards
Fahim
