New Celestron Mount to rival EQ6?

New Celestron mount:
http://www.celestron.com/c2/product....=16&ProdID=548

uses:
Nexstar handset;
Has Permanent programmable PEC;
All star polar align;
ST4 input autoguide port;
RS232 port for computer connection; and
lots more.

It looks rather sturdy and has a larger saddle and better latitude scale. The Elevation pivot mech and machined housing look rather sturdy. Indeed it is quite different to their other mounts.

I guess it's pitched to sell between the CGE and the AS-GT mount.

Would love to see it's periodic error is?
