Seriously Jom, forget the EQ mount.
You will hate using it, until you need it for Astrophotography.
They are a real pain in the butt to set up, and you very rarely have the eyepiece in a position where you can see through it unless you are a 9 foot tall contortionist.
It may look all 'Astronomical, and scientific' but they are not a good visual astronomy mount, unless you use a refractor.
Even then the setup (polar aligning ans star alignment procedures) can put you off.
If you want GoTo, the new Skywatcher GoTo Dobs sound fantastic!
Jen (a member in here) has one and she is having a blast with it.
We got to use hers at Camp last month and I was amazed at how accurate it is.
Anyway, you asked our opinion, that's mine:
Don't get an EQ mount for visual work with a Reflecting telescope.
