When you pay thousands for equipment you expect it to do what it says it can do.
Weirdly though, my CGEM works beautifully for the polar alignment. Every time.

I do a sync, and add the maximum amount of stars and then do the polar alignment routine and it just works.

I'll check what firmware I am on.
