It depends what you want to do. If you're happy using the finderscope to locate fainter objects, or only do that rarely, then it's probably fine.

You can get more accuracy, but it costs (money and setup time).

Me? I'm a lazy sod in a way - I'll trade off setup time and cost if it means the rest of the evening goes like clockwork.

Just for the record, with my EQ6 Pro, I get a typical 5-10 arcminutes without polar alignment, and <5 with PA.
