I think the added weight of the 102/500mm guide scope will get into borderline territory for the EQ6. For imaging, the payload weight on the EQ6 shouldn't be higher than 15Kg. You have to also consider the weights of the cameras, cables, dew heaters and filter wheel if you go mono imaging.
However I have read about people with heavier payloads on an EQ6 imaging successfully. But general guidelines are the payload for imaging should not be more than 75% of total payload capacity, which I think is 20Kg for the EQ6.
The 500mm focal length guide scope will not provide any better guiding than the 400mm guide scope.
Cheers
