Well Randy that's why I always wince inside when I see loads of folks urging someone on to the EQ6 and similar. I would rather have a non-go-to stepper G11 than a Skywatcher EQ6. In fact that is not theoretical, you don't see me selling the G11 to get an EQ6 with go-to. Seeing fractures on poorly cast material makes me cringe.

I think most people feel, however, that the go-to EQ6 is better to own than a non-go-to G11.
