I have a 6" refractor on an EQ5, though not for sale. A couple of comments that may help you. I have seen the OTA going for ca $400 and the EQ5 is certainly <<$1000. If you are patient they will turn up eventually. For visual work the EQ5 can handle the OTA easily. The biggest issue is the tripod; get the current design, the one with the heavy steel tube legs not the paired square aluminium legs. Happy hunting.
