Thanks.
The EQ5 mount will handle the 8" Newt for visual work very well.
The system would probably not be ideal for astrophotography though.
That said, the EQ5 Pro mount is a perfectly good GoTo mount to introduce one into astro-imaging...great for widefield DSLR and small scope work (ED80 for example).
It even has an autoguiding port!
