Sorry but I beg to differ. I had an SXD and loathed it and the Starbook - sold it quickly for all sorts of reasons well known.
The new Skywatcher AZ-EQ6 is better than anything from Vixen - especially for those who want to use two scopes visually in tandem in altaz configuration. And hey yes, it does EQ as well.
More importantly the worms wheels are significantly bigger and the mount stiffer than an EQ6.
The Skywatcher software "sucks arse", but if you're prepared to mate it wirelessly with an iPad it wins hands down IMHO over anything from Vixen.
