Hi Peter,
Sorry to do this to you, but I had another thought.
If you are contemplating the Andrews MC150 on EQ5 for $699, why not go for the MUCH better optics of the Promak 150 from Skywatcher $599, and mount this on the EQ3 mount which Andrews sells for $199?
Total then is $798. Only $100 more than the MC150, but on the EQ3 rather than the EQ5.
Too much? Keep in mind the Pro series Skywatcher Mak 150 would probably leave the "Generic" Andrews MC150 for dead. And it has a 5 year warranty and free shipping (not sure about the mount but I think as its a Skywatcher, then it is free freight too!)
So the extra money you would have spent on freight, can go towards the cost of a MUCH better scope that is 20mm bigger than the Vixen one.
Choices, choices.
Chris
