eq6 with tracking, eq6 with synscan, eq6pro - what's the difference?

What are the main differences in these packages regarding the mount and goto:

1) http://www.myastroshop.com.au/produc...sp?id=MAS-040F a eq6 mount with a cheap goto??

2) http://www.astroshop.com.au/products...sp?id=MAS-040I an eq6 with synscan. Is this a eq6pro??

3) http://www.andrewscom.com.au/site-co...skywatcher.htm search for Black Diamond 254 x 1200P w/EQ6PRO "Go-To" mount and
"Go-To" SynScan hand controller

After 20 years, I am finally upgrading my old refractor and come down to the newtonian. I'm wishing to connect the eq6 to the lappy to use with my planetarium software. Possibly some astro photography also using CCD cam. So any other advice appreciated on these options above.

I live on a 200 acre farm and quite excited about the future nights out with a bigger telescope.

Cheers
