I recently bought a s/h HEQ5Pro, with GOTO V2.04 SkyScan controller. Very impressed with the general finish and quietness of the motors; used the ST4 for guiding and also connected it remotely to The Sky V6 and AstroPlanner V 1.5.8 ( a GREAT software package... well worth considering!!!) works very well for me; I'm machining an adaptor plate to allow the ED80 and the 6" Comet Seeker to be mounted side by side. Looking good so far; only wish you could easily upgrade to the V3.xx firmware.
