Mitch, are you intersted in an update that will last for years? I was in a similar position to you a few years back:
- HEQ5 Pro, to
- NEQ6 Pro (did consider the GM8 at that time), to
- G11, to
- MX. Current mount.
I looked very closely at mounts under the 10k mark. If you could stretch to an Astro Physics Mach1, perhaps with a bit of patience and saving, you'll be well pleased. Or perhaps an MX? They are on special at the moment.
Reason I didn't go with the GM8 - you don't see good images take with them, the RA gear is approx 1/2 the size of the G11 which equate to approx 2 x the periodic error. Do a google image or flickr with the terms 'GM8 / G8' and look at the images out there. Compare with the Mach1!
If I was you, after owning the mount's you've owned, I'd go for a longer-term upgrade. Just my two cents. Good luck. Logan.
