Juwei 14 anyone?

Hi all ,just thinking about buying one of these mounts but still
have some doubts,so I know there are a few people with the Juwei 17 mounts,but what about the Juwei14?
So I am just wanting some feedback about how the Jewei 14 performs
eg any mechanical or slewing issues after a few months of use,does it connect easily to stellarium,sharpcap etc.
I am planning on using a 6.5 kilo scope on it,so should be well under
the payload limit.
Also does it have a 3/8 thread to connect to say a SW GTI tripod?
How is the guiding with these things?
So any info would be gladly appreciated,cheers Nick.
