You need to be careful when you hear these types of opinions.

For instance an EM200 will hold and handle a Takahashi Mewlon which is about 28lbs very comfortably with accessories.

However It will NOT handle my Takahashi Mewlon 300 which is approximately 57lbs.

Similarly I would not trust my Mewlon 300 on a G11 mount.

I used to have a C11 OTA some time ago and they are approximately 28lbs so the EM200 will handle this easily.

The EM200 has good tracking but as to a reliable comparison between both I have never owned a G11 so I cannot directly compare.

There may be other IIS members that have actually owned both to give a better judgment on a direct comparison for you.

Cheers
