I think if I get a new mount, I would want a goto enabled one.
Maybe I could go the HEQ5Pro for around a grand or a second hand one, however, I think I might be disappointed with the SW135 reflector on that.
Still leaning toward the ED100 on the Smartstar A for $1500. Dont think I can go wrong with the ED100...? And as JJJ says, the cube can drive the DSLR easily and pretty much either the ED100 or the SW135 tube. Plus it has all the toys and interfaces I would want to play with.
I already have a Skywatcher electric focuser for the SW135, really helps with eliminating the wobbles, especially with the crappy rack and pinion focuser.
Maybe a troll around the ICETrades might be the go....
I wont rush in, hopefully....
