What is the iOptron advantage? I agree, if I can find a mount second hand, I'll be all over it.
The EQ6 is currently $1499 at andrews and the HEQ5Pro I can get for $1099.
The $1,100 iOptron seems about the same spec as the HEQ5Pro, and is about the same money. I have no idea which is actually the better mount.
