I purchased my first EQ6 so long ago I cant remember but perhaps some 15 years ago. I tweaked a little but it has been and still is a wonderful mount.
Recently ( last year) I purchased the EQ6-R pro and think it is wonderful and I have not seen sny need to pull it down for a tweek.
Future proof..in astrophotography..mmm not sure about that although I am waiting on a EQ8R to turn up as my attempt ... However the EQ6-R pro currently has my new RASA 11 inch sitting on it and so far it seems to be happy..On the old EQ6 for a while I carried a F5 12 inch Newtonian ( from a Bintel dob ) and it tracked ok...
Good luck I say you will not regret your choice.

Thanks Alex! So far, I have heard nothing but positive comments about the EQR-6 (except for the price, ouch!). I just need time (and lots and lots of advice) to set up my first rig. I think I’m pretty much there now and hopefully will be able to start imaging in January.

Cheers,
Stéphane
