I read a post recently that said PEC training wasn't necessary with the ASIAIR Plus because the mount corrections would conflict with the ASIAIR guiding corrections. I haven't been able to verify this anywhere else. I have an AVX mount with a Celestron 8" SCT.
I personally don't use PEC training on my Orion EQ6 mount, I've found that just getting your guiding software dialed in is sufficient as long as you don't have something major wrong with the drive setup.
You can run PEC for a trial run and see what the logs say. If it's fairly good go with just the guiding. If the PEC is messed up then I would do some work to fix the problem rather than try to compensate for it.
