Have to agree with Alex on this. Having had an heq5 and an eq6 there is no comparison. Always go for the larger mount as it will handle the weight and load better. Having said that my heq5 pro mount handled a 127mm apo scope and a 80 mm apo WO scope on a side by side with three counterweights on it. It was at it's limits bit it slewed and guided perfectly with this load. It would be at it's limit with an 8-10" Newtonian in my opinion. The 10" Newtonian is at the limit of the eq6 with a guidescope attached. The rule of thumb is get the best mount you can as you will always want to ad more weight to it. The eq6 has impressed
me.
