I have both the Losmandy G11 and EQ6 with Skyscan so I feal I can answer your question.

There is no Doubt the G11 out performs the EQ6 but so it should considering it's more then double the cost.

I can auto guide at over 2000mm focal length much easier with the G11 then I could with the Eq6...so I made my EQ6 a travel mount that I image at around 600mm....at 600mm it autoguides perfectly for me.

Autoguiding will improve your mount errors but remember their has to be an error for the autoguide to correct...if this error is too high well then it's too late...your image will turn out poorly.....less errors the better.

My answer regarding how to match the autoguide camera will take me too long but you will need to tell us what your going to be imaging and at what FL.

My ED80 works well guiding my C11.
