I'm new here, having just received my AM5N about a week ago. I'm impressed with the mount's capabilities, and visual is not my main reason for buying the mount, but it's compact, simple, and light enough that I would like to use it for some visual-only observing sessions.
I concur with others asking for the ability use do star alignments to improve pointing accuracy.
It seems like the trend today is to have a mount go to the general area of a target, then rely on plate solving, sync, and another go-to to actually get the target into the field of view. For visual only uses, that's not a practical solution.
I recognize that such a system is not trivial to write, especially if it corrects for cone error and declination index error, but other vendors have produced excellent systems that can accurately point optics at pretty much any object anywhere in the sky after an accurate 3 or more star alignment, even on their lower-cost systems (looking at you, Celestron!)
The AMx family look like a great mounts when used with a camera and computer, but when I tried mine visually the other night it was an absolute pain to use. My Celestron AVX is much better for that since about 5 to 10 minutes to complete a careful two-star alignment and four-star calibration can result in a nighttime of accurate go-to pointing.
