GM8 Question...

This may seem absurd, but I can't tell from the pictures. Is the Losmandy
GM8 greatly superior to the Orion SkyView Pro or the newer CG-5? I have two
SVPs and a CG-5 and they are adequate mounts. The SVPs are a bit shakey with
a 5" refractor (and UP)...I'd like to sell them all off and get one good,
solid, quality mount. I did get the best mount offered by Universal
Astronomics---I use it ALL the time. Great mount for those big refractors
(I have two 6" refractors as well) but you can't get the power up with an
Alt/Az mount as you could with a good, tracking EQ.
I would appreciate some feedback on EQ mounts.
Thanks
Doink
