I had both a HEQ5 and the alt az version of the NEQ6 that also features belt drives. Sold the HEQ5 as it is very weight limited. Provided you are happy with the weight of the 6, it will handle this scope with ease and give you plenty of future proofing quite apart from the benefits from the belt drive (eg more precise, much quieter which is important if slewing a scope at 2am in your suburban backyard).
