Any feedback on Celestron C8-NGT ?

I have been looking to get a better equatorial mount, preferably with
GOTO controls. One of the regular contributors to this newsgroup
suggested an EQ-5 with WinCTC. Pricing this up (EQ-5 + motors approx
£499 + WinCTC approx £275), the new Celestron C8-NGT (at £799) looks
good value. I get a new OTA as well !
And it now comes with a 2 year guarantee.

Does anyone have any feedback on how good an option this would be ?

Thanks

How much? SCS Astro and other dealers advertise EQ5 + drives for less=20
than 400 quid. 499 quid will easily buy you an H-EQ5 that has drives=20
built in and looks rather more substantial.
