I'm using MountWizard4 as well. Works awesome. A lot of work has been put into it, and it works on the Mac, Linux and Windows now as ASCOM was just added.
Very sorry I never replied to this. I gave up on ekos when it didn't seem the bug was going to be fixed soon enough. However this thread got a few responses and it showed up in my spam folder so I am back here to see what is new.
You want the mount to update ekos IF you are running a gps at your mount as it will have accurate position and time updates. Your computer will not be as accurate.
