I have very recently changed to a lovely tak NJP mount and I think that the benefit will be less as its trackiing is significantly better than the EQ6.
I have an AO7 for sale and it worked just as well as the AO8 but took up more back focus hence the change.
The AO7 is a mirror that moves rather than a lens. Neither seem to cause image degredation although the AO8 in theory has more potential to do so.

Thanks for that.
How is that lovely Tak NJP Mount? I miss it already!
