I used an EQ6 pro with everything from 80mm refractors through to 11" SCT's for imaging and rarely if ever had any problems. They do, as with anything, suffer a bit from mass production, and so there is room for improvement straight out of the box, however for the money they are damn near impossible to beat..
For your 8" F/4.4 newt, an EQ6 Pro would be very nice indeed.
