i would suggest against not using a eq5 pro for 10" scopes, by the time you load them up your way past their limits (stress on bearings) they will fail eventually, the other problem you face is they are structurally not strong enough a 10" is like a parachute especially a newt yes you can balance them off and yes they will track and because your guiding is sub pixel then you wont "see" much difference, though you get a slight breeze and your guiding will be all over the show and your ratio of keeper pictures to throw away is too high.
It has been said many times before your platform is the basis of your work, don't get it right and you have just wasted your money.
