If the alignment procedure succeeds goto will be fine, but tracking won't. Decent tracking requires accurate polar alignment (unless you want to keep pushing the Enter button to re-centre the object).
Before getting the HEQ5 Pro I was under the misconception that goto mounts will track using both motors by simply keeping to go to the selected object. It turns out they (or at least the SynScan based ones) don't.
