Orion "SkyView Pro"

Does anyone know how the new Orion SkyView Pro compares to a CG-5? From the listing at the link below, the mount weighs 37 lbs with counterweights, can handle 20 lb load, and costs only $299! The dual drives are only another $119. If all this is true, this is the equivalent of a GM-8 or GP-DX (minus some quality, I suppose)!

My need is for a sturdier, driven mount for my 8" SCT for visual use than my current CG-5.

Thanks for any info,
Bruce Housey.
