Hi Nicholas
I had the same pondering a couple of years ago and was lucky enough to pick up my EQ6 in the classifieds here at a reasonable price.
I'm so glad I did as I now watch one of my club mates struggle from time to time with his LX90 and Meade wedge trying to get it polar aligned.
Like any discussion on here everyone has their own opinion, as it should be. I have no doubt there are members here who have taken some stunning images with a wedged up fork mount and as such could not want, or in their case need, an EQ mount. For me it is a no brainer.
I guess the old adage of mount is king when it comes to astrophotography rang loud and clear in my ears when I made my decision.
Either way good luck with your decision and please keep asking questions.
Wayne
