Alt Azm mount for C6 SE, suggestions please

I've recently acquired a Celestron C6 SE OTA and am now looking for a suitable mount.
My DIY attempts are not proving very satisfactory, and this scope is worth the cost of a good mount.
Importing a Nexstar mount from the USA (ebay), with $200 postage would stretch the budget a bit far.
Whilst GOTO would be nice, I'm happy to just have the ability to track.
So, I'm looking for a driven mount with the capacity for a C6 (5kg/11lbs).
I have a very solid tripod with 2" steel legs so I only really need a mount head.
I only do visual, no imaging, so I'm thinking Alt/Azm, most comfortable for my aching back!

Recommendations would be appreciated, budget $400 ~ $500 inclusive of postage.

Thanks

Chris
