HEQ5 vs EQ6 vs Sphinx SXW(SWD)

I own two refractors that I would like to use for astrophotography, an Orion 80ED and a William Optics 80FD. I want to purchase a mount to allow me to use these two telescopes and to leave some room for future expansion.

The budget: max 3000AUD.

I am looking for the following features: good value for money, compact, portability, accuracy, GOTO, built quality, etc.

From my own research I am inclined for a HEQ5 (EQ6?) and Sphinx SXW(SWD?). Can anybody have any experience with these mounts? Can you point to me any reviews regarding these mounts? Thanks.
