As someone who has tried to image with an EQ5 (not an HEQ5 - different beast) - please don't do it to yourself. You may get lucky and get a decent one - but it would be just that - luck.

The EQ6 is a tried and tested platform, so there is a lot of knowledge around about what to do if something goes wrong, and also software support etc. If you get the EQ6 you won't have to upgrade for a long time, and you will have an easier time of learning how it all works together for imaging without battling against the mount.
