Re: Motor Drive
the EQ6 has fully enclosed motors, you can't buy it without a motor drive.
the only mounts for which motor drives are optional are the Vixen GP/GPDX class, the old Celestron CG-5, the Orion Sky View Pro, and the "lesser" mounts - EQ-1 to EQ-3 / CG-4.
None of which (except for the GPDX and maybe GP/CG-5) can really adequately carry an 8".
Or do you really mean a mount, and not the motor drive for a mount?
In which case yes the EQ-6 is a good choice. McGill used to sell some for $2200. A very good price, new. Not sure if they still have them at that price.
