affordable dual axis drive mount

Hey, what's a decent dual axis mount that could be autoguided that isn't too expensive or could be found used? GM-8 is just too expensive, although I know they're very good quality. Just wanting to get some ideas.

Look into the CG-5 class of mounts, or the Meade LXD 55-or 75. Neither are top rated, but either will generally be nominally workable on short focal length/lightweight scopes.

What's reasonable? Here are three choices ranging from about 1500 to about 800:

Orion/Synta Atlas EQG

Orion/Synta HEQ5 Sirius

Celestron CG5

Thanks for the replies. So many options, which is good I guess. I'll keep my eyes on the classified section.
