The value of tracking should not be underestimated since it makes viewing all objects much easier and more detail can be picked up. When viewing an object drifting across the field (even in an ultrawide eyepiece) your brain is constantly locking in on the object and you dont end up seeing the detail in say a planet or picking up that faint galaxy as easily as when the image is stationary.
In fact one could argue that a tracked smaller 'scope can help you see more than a non tracked larger 'scope.
Tracking also helps with group viewing since you don't have to constantly re-centre the object. Of course it does depend on how low a power you are using and what objects you are looking at but moderate power upward benefit from tracking.
The Argo can be added at anytime provided the encoder brackets are available and if they're not now they soon will be.
What ever you choose, enjoy!
