Rob,
As most of the folk have already said i think your expecting miracles.
It is commonly agreed the mount is fantastic for the price and the nearest mount to it is almost 4K away.
David is spot on, you almost have the perfect rig!!
Brendan Mitchell from WA took photo of the year in the ASTROFEST comp with a 10" Newtonian and an EQ6, so the mount can perform.
People have have taken NASA APOD pictures with this mount.
Your current rings will introduce flex and wobble more so than if you had a pair of Parallax rings. I would not consider the current rings you have to be solid.
If viewing is all your doing i keep telling you a Mak180 or the Saxon 8" will be solid as a rock on this mount, i use high power with my mak and it is completely solid even to the touch she sits tight.
Regards
Shane
