I am debating which to get for my FSQ 106N for visual.

Would the Vixen GP good enough? The mount will be mounted on a 4" pier.

Should I get a EQ 6 or a HEQ5 since I have decided to get a C 9.25 in future and the C 9.25 will be use together with the FSQ 106N?

Would a EQ6 or a HEQ5 enough mount for Visual with this combination (C 9.25 with FSQ 106N)?
Again the EQ mount will be mounted on a pier (4").

So which mount did you end up buying? I'll looking at the HEQ5 and EQ6 both with the SkyScan ability. I understand the HQE5 is a lighter head weight than the EQ6. Both have the rugged ability. What did you like and or dislike about these mounts.

Thanks, Don
