Looking for an affordable GOTO mount with remote for my Nexstar 127 SLT OTA.

Since my Nexstar SLT Mount is presumably broken. I am looking for getting a new affordable GOTO mount with a remote.

The Skywatcher Az GTi is a good one.

There's a thread in the Discussion Mounts forum.

What do you call affordable? I have an Evolution mount with Starsense I’m not using anymore I can sell.

iOptron Cube Pro could be interesting price vise.

Great for light scopes under 3.6 kg, comes with hand controller, has GoTo, GPS, native AZ and EQ setups and unlike AzGTI, it can carry two scopes at the same time. Great for visual and usable to an extent for AP.

There is also a brand new (unprooven), belt-driven iOptron Sky Hunter, but not quite affordable.
