I wouldn't fret over the lack of LNT.

I'm of the opposite opinion to Tony on LNT, my early model LX had LNT, I quickly found that the easiest way to get accurate alignment was to manually set level and point the OTA to north. I found the LNT to be quite hit and miss depending on the proximity of any magnetic materials nearby. With accurate manual alignment I found that slews were usally close to the centre of the field of a 14mm ep, the LNT would sometimes achieve that but not consistently.
