I have the same scope on an EQ5 (different brand, same factory in China - Synta) bought second hand and highly recommend it.
Technically the mount is at it's limit so wouldn't be ideal for long exposure photography but for visual it's great.
Don't underestimate the advantage of, once polar aligned, walking away for extended periods and having an object you've worked hard finding still being in view. In my case without motors, by just turning one knob which essentially represents time.
being fairly new - i couldn't live without the slow mo controls either.
Also (sorry for harping on) -I'm constantly going back and forth to the PC's skychart software for directions of DSO's/Galaxies etc, a dob mount would surely be frustrating here. Although must admit to never using one!
