Geoff, you may be underestimating eq5's

Mrs Rider runs a 10 inch newt. on a saxon eq5 with the added resistance of argo navis cogs. It doesnt worry it at all. (The old saxon is a bit beefier than a SW eq5 though.)
Ive got a heavier mak on an heq5pro and that doesnt miss a beat either.

We picked the 5's because they carry weight but are managable to get in and out of the house.
