if money wasn't an option we would not be talking about either mount.
l have seen so many people join this forum over the years and buy a heap of stuff from the classifieds only to readvertise the gear soon after finding it was not up to their expectations, now this can be due to not asking questions beforehand or not getting the answers to the questions they do ask.
the mount question comes up again and again, the simple rule, to me anyway, is if you are getting into astrophotography do the research on what others have done and learn from their mistakes and experience, it will save you money and frustration in the future.

Just playing the here but if you read the original post I don't think a eq5 or heq5 pro or eq6 or G11 for that matter will serve his purpose. I mean the guy wants to take pics using a 10" refractor (APM 254mm = 45kg). Shouldn't we be talking a paramount ME or bigger .
