Hi,
Not a silly question but which way you go depends on personal preference.
The telescope you have is a 5"/F6 Maksutov Newtonian, made by Intes Micro in Russia. It is a very high quality telescope, unfortunately mounted on a very low quality and inadequate mount, made in China. Personally, I wouldn't waste any money adding any accessories of any description to that mount.
If it was me I would sell that mount and buy a new GOTO eq mount. You can buy the HEQ5 Pro GOTO for $1,400 from Andrews which would be adequate.
A 2nd hand Vixen GP DX with Sky Sensor 2000, or one of the newer Vixen GOTO mounts would be infinitely better and in keeping with the quality of the telescope.
Whilst the Argo Navis is an outstanding product in every respect, I don't think it is the answer in this case due to the inadequacy of the mount you have.
Cheers,
John B
