When all is said and done - I bet you will enjoy the OTA firmly mounted on an EQ6 a lot more than the gear it arrived with when it comes to astro-photography!

You would lose yr money
I am portable and 90% visual, hence am happy with how it works.
Portable AltAz with binoviewers walks all over a GEM for setup speed and goto accuracy.
If i was going to go totally Astro, i would certainly look at a good GEM,
but i do have an EQ6 and funnily enuf, people have written external code
to make it "work better than / without with the supplied Hbx"
"
Just another "patch" of sorts to get the required functionality???

Making really good mounts must be part science / part magic I sense!

Not really. Its making them to a cost/quality breakpoint that meets peoples requirements that is the hard bit.

The LX200 is well above the LX90 in precision and accuracy isn't it?

Yep, but it also has its own bugs.
PEC in the Sth Hemi being one. Again, most are well known and patched,
but out of the box it can be a problem.
