I don't know if this is relavent to your thoughts or not but in 30+ years of observing I have come to learn that you should always get the heaviest mount you can afford, yes, it may seem an overkill, but, with the telescope you have you need the stability, what you don't want is the thing vibrating and moving around with the slightest touch. Do you really need GOTO, why not spend the extra money on the mount itself, you can always learn to use Setting Circles, that was all I used until a couple of years ago, once you learn it is easy or think along the lines of an Argo Navis and encoders. Just a bit of food for thought. Geez, now I think about it, it is more like 40 years.
