GPDX or GPD2

Hi,
looking for a small portable mount for my VC200L. Wondering if anyone has any experience with a Vixen GPDX or GPD2, and whether they have found it capable of tracking/guiding for imaging perposes at the focal length of a VC200L (=1.8m). It would have the scope, a lightweight 80mm guidscope and a QHY8 attached. Easily comes in under the 10kg load limit of the mount, but I'm wondering whether the tracking is good enough for imaging purposes...and what sort of PE are you getting?

cheers
Gary
