I can't click the order button yet - Advice / confirmation :)

We only have your best interests at heart - I hear you when you say that you have already 'blown the budget' but a more substantial mount that you can continue to grow into will last a long time and avoid a lot of frustration early on whereas buying a mount that isn't up to the task will frustrate and disappoint in equal measure.

I appreciate the advice and if my personal and financial situation was different I would have gone with the heq5 new and saved up for a better scope. But a friend has that mount second hand nearly new and we came to an agreement. He wants a lighter more manageable smaller scope and lighter mount he's getting older (and no longer can continue imaging )- and for more easy frequent use. And I wanted the ed 80 so there you go. You don't always know the full story not all decisions are based on one thing. I saved £300 and have a mount that's well looked after and I know where it's come from. Got a few bit and bobs extra too.

But I do appreciate the advice I wouldn't ask other wise

Sounds like you have it sorted between you and your mate.

Nobody ever complains that their mount is too stable - go for the HEQ5
