Will this Celestron SCT idea work?

I'm looking for a used 8" SCT OTA for my CG5 mount and I had what seems to be a good idea. I decided on an EQ mounted SCT to leave the option open for astrophotography if I decided to pursue that later on. I'm thinking I could get a used NexStar and use the OTA on my CG5. The Nexstar OTA (other than the color) is the same as the other Celestron SCT OTA's right? Then, I could use the NexStar mount for a smaller OTA as a grab and go, go-to set up. I was thinking this mount would end up being cheaper than a Mini-Tower...
Since both systems use a dovetail, there's no reason why this wouldn't work right?
