Not sure if you plan to use the mount in an observatory or in the field, but this is relevant (from the PME manual, but applies to any EQ mount):

The accuracy of the leveling required depends on the long-term use of the mount. If the mount is attached to a permanent pier, without the intent of portable use, leveling is less important. When used in a portable sense, a level mount helps speed the polar alignment process.
