I wouldn't say that. The Atlas starts at $1200, and that is without GoTo. The Sirius (smaller version of the Atlas) starts at $850, also without GoTo. The CG-5 is a GoTo mount that starts in the $500-600 range with GoTo. During the Celestron overstock clearance sale, they were $200 w/o GoTo!

I do agree that they are all nice mounts. I'd also suggest the Meade LXD75, almost identical to the CG-5, but with a different (IMO better) fit and finish.
