Default Opinion: Vixen GPD2 or CG5

In your opinion, which would be better of these two:
A) Celestron 9.25" Schmidt-Cassegrain & Vixen GPD2 Equatorial Mount w/ Starbook S $1300 + $2000.

B) Celestron 9.25" Schmidt-Cassegrain & CG5 SGT (Advanced Series) $2100.

If I go with Option A it costs more, but is it better? Is the Vixen mount really worth the extra cash? The mount is really important to me. Is the Vixen mount made in China? Is it truly high-quality precision mounts?

Option B will get me viewing stars for much less.
