Be prepared that you will keep on buying scopes with increased weight.
I look forward to seeing your first picture!

According to another thread the EQ7 project has been canned. Even if that is not true the mount was not slated to be released until at least the end of next year.
You can get a EQ6Pro from Andrews for $1549 with shipping being another $50. Here is a
link and you can find the mounts towards the bottom of the page.
