If I was starting out, I would be asking what are current users using, and for what.
As an example a few are using the EQ5 to hold a 10" newt. This setup is sold currently as well as a great setup. To me the humble EQ5/CG% simply isn't up to it, but people buy them and use them. I found that to hold my 10" newt I needed at least the G11/AP600/EM200 sized mount, and my tube has been through the weight loss camp, and comes in at 10 kilos.
So if you are thinking of a specific style of use, and knew or could access others who were also in this field, ask them, or ask what they are using, and if they are happy with it.
This however is virtually where this forum excells anyway. Most are happy to pass on their thoughts and opinions freely.
