Can you push it accurately enough to easily centre the object then start using the slow motion controls without readjusting the clutches?

I'd say yes, though even with the clutches fully released the T-Rex was not quite as easy to push around as the DM-6. A long refractor with it's extra leverage would reduce this difference between the mounts. Peter can give you a more informed answer and hopefully balance any unintended bias I may have.
If both mounts were the same price, you didn't want to mount the scope on the right hand side, had no intention of putting a C14 on the mount and wanted to do some high mag viewing I'd recommend the T-Rex as first choice. I don't think you can really give an unqualified 'mount a' is better than 'mount b' answer.
