Explore Scientific Losmandy G-11 vs Celestron CGX

Apparently the Explore Scientific Losmandy G11 partnership is shipping now. . Reading rhe specs on the ES website, it seems aimed at the CGX market segment.

Capacity is near identical, slight edge (2kg) to the G11 over the CGX, ( but the CGX/L would have it). Price is the same. Both offer their own branded software control systems, but the tacked on multiprocessor (PMC-8) box on the G11 is very different to the CGX control approach. Not sure about all the cables on the G11, CGX cables are internal. What is nice, if it works without vibration transmission, is the direct drive worms on the G11, certainly gets away from belt drive alignment issues.

I wonder if local Losmandy retailers will be offering this variant? Competition is good.
