A good GOTO mount?

Hi all, I was wondering if there is a good GOTO type mount I can get for my Skywatcher 230 (f/8.3)? It is optically a great performer and so I'd like to used for awhile yet before upgrading to a new scope altogether but would also like to use it for some imaging. My only problem is keeping whatever GOTO mount that might be good for this, affordable. I am currently using the Irion EQ3-2. Any ideas?

Thanks.

You probably can't go wrong with a Celestron Advanced Series GOTO, which consistently gets good reviews. I just ordered one myself. I don't know how suitable it is for imaging, however, since I don't believe it has PEC. But in terms of a good, affordable GOTO mount, I don't think you'll find anything better.
