I'm neither, especially the latter! (Particularly after getting into this hobby...)
In my experience putting anywhere near 10kgs on an eq6 (rated at 20kgs), especially with a long ota, made it difficult to reliably get good long subs (>5mins). Of course my experience is only with Skywatcher mounts and I'm sure you could load up the likes of a PME, AP, Tak, etc mount to its limit and it will track, and guide, along happily all night.
You're right about perfectionists though and I guess it depends on your own threshold for the quality you want to produce, and the time and effort you want to spend fiddling with your setup.
