If you made a fork big enough to do the job on these things it would weigh a metric tonne. As the owner of a LX200R I can tell you things aren't much better there for AP either although my scope has never missed a beat mechanically or on the electrical side either. It is just too hard to do AP with a fork on a wedge at that focal length (wobble wobble). Yes the optics are very good so you have answered your own question. Defork the scope (easier said then done) and chuck it on a EQ mount. It will still be very challenging on the EQ due to the long FL but at least you have a chance.
