What sort of tracking accuracy are you getting with your CGX Glen? Celestron don't state what the PE range is. Usually that is stated with mounts.
For example Software Bisque state 7 arc seconds which in practice is fairly conservative.
A Mach 2 GTO mount from AP with autoguiding is sub 1 arc sec accuracy so essentially perfect.
But of course it would cost $12-14K imported if you are able to order one at all at the moment. But its probably quite portable and would be a lifetime mount unless you got something very heavy.
2nd hand AP mounts like an AP1200 or 1100 go for around US$5500 on Astromart.
These prices may be outside of the budget but if it were my choice and you wanted a premium mount and were willing to spend the money then I think AP is currently making the world's best mounts. It would also almost certainly work out of the box as well.
But different markets, different costs. Depends on the budget really.
It does seem that there are a lot of good choices these days at quite reasonable prices.
