I've been considering an upgrade to my current alt-az mounts and I'm wondering what people think of the Vixen APZ:  APZ   

 

I'm hesitant because of the price, especially since I could get a SkyTee or clone for a good bit less.  But I don't care for the looks of the SkyTee and would likely never put two scopes on it at the same time.  My heaviest scope is 5kg, so I don't need something super massive and I need a grab-n-go, but my current mounts are a bit taxed with 5kg on them.

 

Any thoughts / experiences?

I don't know about the APZ, but I have the APP-TL130 tripod.

It can hold my 4kg Altair Starwave pretty easily.
