The EQ6 and SkyScan seem to be a bit hit and miss with quality control from the factory, but the problems I had with mine were all fixed quickly under warranty so it shouldn't be a problem if you get a dud.
The package from Steve Massey that Starkler linked to is cheaper and is a complete package.
Be worth contacting Steve for a 'good' price' and also querying the mount. The one shown is white. On the EQ6 yahoo group, the white pro version sold by Orion as an Atlas Pro has better Quality control during assembly than the standard black mount. Be worth checking to see if that QC follows through for the white Synta range as well.
