Darryl,
You also need to be aware that not everyone has a mortgage, 3 screaming kids and a whineing missus that severely restricts their available astronomy equipment budget.
If James Packer came to the forum and posted:
"I want to buy an equatorial mount to start astrophotography with my new 4" APO refractor".
Would you recommend he buy a sub $1,000 Chinese mount? I should hope not. Not everyone is budget limited and some people can afford top quality equipment. While the Synta EQ mounts are adequate for some and offer good value for money, there are clearly better mounts available that others can afford. Not everyone is restricted to being "a budget astronomer".
You can also be rest assured that if you asked everyone currently imaging with an EQ6 mount, "Would you like a FREE Paramount ME, the answer would be yes in 99.9% of cases, if not 100% of cases"
Cheers,
John B
