Actually, now I am not sure what I will get at all... I just went into the shop and ordered EQ6 (basic), because I wanted a mount that will not budge if I decide to load it with my newtonian (~13kg).

You won't have a problem with your 13kg newt. My SW 254mm newt weighs in at 14.6kg and then I hang the SBIG st2000xcm off the side which adds another kg or so with MPCC etc and the whole thing ( EQ6Pro ) is rock solid. The only thing I needed was an extra 5kg weight to balance the setup. I haven't checked inside for grease colour etc, I figure if it's working why mess with it !
