Greg,
I find that the G11 without the RAEXK is way more difficult to lug around than the AP900 as it breaks down so quickly and easily. The RAEXK is required if you are doing two things. The first is moving your mount. It is fairly awkward to move, and that crazy way they have fixed the motors is a disaster waiting to happen if you slip. The motors are sticking out like stalks, just waiting to be damaged. I can’t believe that after so many years they haven’t addressed this. And the second reason, you can’t point your scope where the best part of the sky is, straight up. It’s those crazy motors again, something you have to watch.
It’s definitely something worth considering, and does make the mount much better. You can easily break it down, and pack it up and go mobile, and you can track through the meridian as well. Nice addition.
