Considering the latest (non-GoTo) version of the CG5 for a 4" refractor. Is the Advanced Series just the old CG5 (of a year ago)with tubular legs? Does the new version still need to be disassembled, cleaned out and relubed to operate smoothly? Anyone care to relate their experience with this model? How does it compare with Orion's Skyview Pro?

Would also like to hear opinions/impressions of the GoTo version from anyone who has used one.
Thanks.

There's also a rather extensive thread in the cloudynights.com forums regarding the mount and review.
