I agree with Paul. Try for the HEQ 5.
As for your question the little bit of info i've seen on orion SVP suggests it's an EQ5. Orion do a mount called the Sirius EQG which is the exact same mount as HEQ5. You can image on an EQ5 and i suggest you look at Cloudy Nights forum. Lots of people in the US image with them, some quite well, most will probably say they wish they got a bigger mount at the start though.
