I'm about to receive one, so I guess I'd like to know this as well.
I know people have said that fully loaded it will struggle for astrophotography work, but would be okay for visual if properly balanced.
From what I've read the hyper tune kit is not really necessary, but opening up the mount and cleaning and lubing it properly may be worth the exercise and you get a look at how the lucky-dip went with the quality of gears and grease you happen to get.
I'm hoping to hear from some experienced owners though.
