Default Quality Mounts

And, I ask myself, it not cheaper to buy a Celestron CGE800 (3499 $) or the
CGE925 (3799$) ?

Custom may be the 4,5 % or 0 % if you manage clevery, and the ship may be
something 300 to 400 $ to spain. That make and amount of less than 4000
euro. Celestron is " importable" from usa, Meade is not

First of all, sorry about my english. I'm Spanish and I don't know very

much
english.

I have a Celestron C-8 in a EQ5 equivalent mount by Celestron, the CG5. I

am
searching a quality mount for my telescope, but here, in Sapin, they are
very expensive.

An example is the Losmandy G-11. Here is arround 3000$ (without computer,
only mount + field tripod). Another example is the Meade LXD-650. Here is
arround 4500? (US$ 5500 or 6000) (with the computer, same as LX200
computer).

A friend of mine sells this mount (Meade's one) at 2600? (arround US$ 3000
or 3500).

Do you think this mount is really good and quality? Thanks for all
