heq5 or eq6?

I would ultimately like to put my 10" Bintel reflector OTA on an eq mount for AP purposes.
It is currently mounted on a dob mount which makes planetary/Dso imagary impossible.
The OTA weighs 16kg from factory specs.
I assume I would be best buying an eq6 for this payload.
Would I get away with a heq5pro with goto?
Any ideas what is an average ball park for a second hand heq5 goto and eq6?
I don't see them come up all that frequently.
Only reason I ask is because there is a local heq5 pro with goto on offer.

Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Ryan.
