To Balance or not so balanced Mount

HI Folks,
I am just curious, how many members here, have an EQ mount, and strive to achieve the proper balance in RA and DEC?

Personnally. I prefer to balance, just to avoid undue stress on my drive motors, others leave the RA a little heavy for a good gear mesh.
Some dont even know that they should.

Ok Maybe this should be a Poll?
LOL,

Dennis
