Yeah, in all seriousness go for the EQ6, you can often get one second hand for about a grand, and andrews has them for $1499.
The HEQ5 is okay if you only ever stick with the refractor, it *can* handle bigger, but tends to be frustrating with larger loads.
The mount is the *most* important part of the equipment, without a doubt and the one area you will really regret if you skimp on it.

But like everything, your budget is the deciding factor, but I'd rather wait and save up personally.
