Vixen GP - SkyView PRO

According to Orion, their SkyView PRO mount "is every bit the equal of venerable Japanese-made mounts but at less than half the price."

Does this mean that the SVP mount is similar to Vixen GP (or even GP-DX)??

That's just advertising hype; there are significant differences in accuracy of machining which make noticeable differences in smoothness of operation under load and amount of backlash in the gear train. To a certain extent you are going to get what you pay for.
