So just to close this out, I have now ordered the HAE29 with iPolar. Thanks everyone who provided input and help. Sorry for the clouds that will now roll in!

Finally able to get back to looking at getting my new mount after life got in the way. I'm currently looking at the iOptron HAE29 but was wondering if it is worth getting the variant with the iPolar or whether it's not worth the extra cost (£100).

The iOptron CEM40 is a mount I've had a look at and seems pretty good.

Hi there, Probably up to £3K for the mount. As for telescope size probably at least 90mm apochromatic refractor but that's for the future.

Hello, I have been using a Sky Watcher Star Adventurer 2i mount with a Canon 6D mk II (astro modified) and various lenses for a couple of years. I am now ready to start upgrading my equipment and will start with the mount. What would the collective recommend as an intermediate equatorial mount on which I can use my current equipment but also have the weight carrying capability for when I then upgrade my imaging equipment to use a telescope. My primary interest is imaging DSOs.
