DOn't mention the WAR!
I have both, and I have to say for visual work you can't go past the alt az setup, but I cringe when I say this for photography work and IMHO the EQ mount (a stable one) is much better for photography. I have a wedge and its a dog to setup. I also have a field derotator and its not much chop either.
I can only speak about other EQ mounts I have seen used or have quickly used myself, I am yet to setup my newly aquired EQ6 with synscan goto. I will fully comment when I get this beasty up and going.
