Most products improve over time. That includes the EQ6, Taka EM series, G-8's etc, computers, cars.
So I'm I not quite sure what the point of the question is.
I've been taking astro-photos, well, for a very long time. The only observation I'd make in this digital age is don't get too carried away with aperture...It can get costly
A well matched 4-6" system is a lot easier to tame than a 12" on a mount that continues to vibrate for many seconds after you touch it or sways in the slightest breeze.
The French website referred to by Kal is a good one for comparing tracking
accuracy, but doesn't say a lot about system rigidity.
And...I often use rocks when I didn't pack a tripod. But their tracking accuracy is only about 15 arc sec per sec
