AP Mach2 GTO would be awesome.
You want a mount with low periodic error. Autoguiding on a rough mount with high PE will still give eggy stars.

Mach GTO has built in encoders and can be run also with autoguiding giving unheard of low PE. It also has a fairly large capacity. Of course there is a price tag that goes with all this.

AP mounts are very reliable and trouble free.

I have had 2 Software Bisque mounts - a 2nd hand PME which is very reliable and a high performer and a MX mount which at first was troublesome then SB gave me a replacement worm and it was a lot better.

The most important part of your setup is the mount so keep that in mind.

Greg.
