IMHO the best bang for buck portable mount on the market at the moment is the Losmandy G-11
All machined, precision gears and a robust and mature GoTo system that has features normally reserved for PC software rather than its nifty touch screen hand paddle and Gemini 2 controller.
If money is not object the AP Mach2 has better specs, but at twice the price is hard for many to justify.
Due the risk of offending some punters, all I'll say about the ROC stuff is that it's build to a price with many resorting to EQ mods or similar to get acceptable results.
G-11's occasionally come up on the used market, but not often.
