I have been looking at future upgrades, including SX active optics, MDA encoder and also a more expensive mount, including MYT and Mach1. If new G11 consistently performs better than my current mount, then that would be truly great news and I would be seriously interested, after collecting sufficient funds...

That's been my experience over the years with some exceptions. At 3 metres using a MMOAG through the scope OAG then .6 would still give you round stars.
