I had a EQ6RPro prior to this mount, and this machine blew it out of the water with ease of use, assembly, transport, features, and capabilities.   

So, why sell it?  While this mount can be completely controlled by the ASI Air, its guide camera is locked out by ZWO and that defeats one of the most attractive features of the mount that made me buy it in the first place.  I've been completely drawn into the ZWO ecosystem and that is the reason I am moving on.  I can sell this to buy an AM7, or maybe there's someone out there with AM7 buyers remorse interested in a trade.
