The StarPro series mount and tripod is a good one, in my view.
As Chris K said, the mount and tripod are an important part of the whole. A bad mount and tripod sabotages even the best of scopes and makes many people give up astronomy. The StarPro series mount and tripod is a good one, in my view. Meade used to sell Infinity-series scopes in that  price range. The mounts on those looked impressive, but were awful.
