Hi Jack,
Do you want to use the mount to do any deep sky imaging? Both links are to Alt-Az mounts which will not be suitable for astrophotography as they will introduce field rotation, unless you use a very short exposure. Alt-Az mounts are fine for visual observing.

Or fit a field rotator before the camera. Not exactly a low-cost option.

The Seestar uses 10s exposures to keep field rotation within its acceptable limits.
