Paul you might be misleading people believing these are the same class of mount.
the MX is more like an AP900 than a Mach 1 GTO
MX has 40 kg payload vs 20.5 stated for Mach 1.
No doubt its a fine instrument but probbaly more like a VERY upmarket G-11 than alternative to MX.
Bearing in mind this opinion is comming from someone who has seen neither mount though and just going of internet specs.

They are also almost $3000 less expensive.
