Not quite the same equipment, but I have a Vixen GP-DX that I bought from a previous owner while living in the UK about seven years ago.
A few years ago I bought an EQ6 and now only use the Vixen for widefield work only. I did some testing of the two mounts and in my case the periodic error of the GP-DX was +/-20" and the EQ6 +/-10" and the error on the EQ6 was much smoother. EQ6 can also clearly carry a lot more.
SS2K controller on the Vixen is much better as a stand alone controller (especially as you can disconnect the power supply and pick up where you were very quickly and easily).
YMMV..
