I've not gone the upgrade route Bill - I bought the EQ5 Synscan mount complete. But I would guess the kit (excluding the RA housing perhaps) would be the same.
The motors coped with throwing my ED80/40D and piggybacked guidescope around very well. GoTo is a luxury I don't use as much as I thought I would, but the autoguider port and some of the other bells and whistles have been essential.
The price is a hell of a lot more realistic now too!!
As with everything in this hobby...depends what you want to do with it now and in the future!
The EQ5 GoTo mount has suited my short Focal Length imaging stuff, but I wouldn't try the same with an 8" newt + guidescope on it!
