I purchased mine a few weeks ago. I have a C11 sitting on it, which I use mainly for visual (currently in EQ mode) with the intent of doing planetary/lunar imaging. The OTA plus accessories comes in at 16kg and the mount handles it effortlessly. Mind you, I am not doing any deep sky imaging with it so I cannot comment how well it guides with this kind of mass.
Prior to purchasing this mount I did have an EQ6 Pro, and I must admit that the AZ EQ6 GT is definitely worth the price differential for the improvements over the standard EQ6 such as the Alt adjuster mechanism, the clutch locks, the fact that it is about 1kg lighter and the ability to run two scopes in ALT AZ mode (oh and the belt drive makes it run a lot quiter).
The improvements I have made so far is a replacement saddle from ADM (only just arrived last night) as they just seem more secure than the Skywatcher version, and also running EQMOD with a wireless controller!
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Daniel
