I'm trying to decide between the zwo am3n mount vs sky-watcher wave 100i strainwave mount. I plan on pairing it with the askar 91f refractor scope which has a weight of about 10 pounds without any payload and I'd prefer to avoid a counterweight if I can.

The sky-watcher 100i can carry about 5 more pounds of payload but to my understanding it hasn't been available for as long as the zwo harmonic mounts and I can't find many reviews on it. I know many people will suggest the sky-watcher EQ6-R pro but I'm to avoid carrying a 44 pound mount outside everytime I have clear skies. Any suggestions or reviews would be helpful.
