I have an EQ6 as well, haven't got any real issues with it, infact I am really happy with it. I didn't got the Synscan route though, I stuck to the Syntrek and am running EQMOD much better in terms of GOTO accuracy and guiding. There were a few issues with hardware early on which turned many people off and now with the GOTO hand controller which dare I say is rubbish. The losmandy G-8 mounts have a great reputation as being a good mount for those not wanting to load it up too much, should handle a 8" SCT and ED80 but for the price I would save a bit more and go the G-11 only about $1200 separates them in price according to Bintel. that way in future you can upgrade the scope without upgrading the mount.
Anyway good luck with your purchase.
