Hi Peter
I have an Esprit 150 and it is superb for imaging. It is heavy - 15 kg without cameras etc and very much front heavy with the stock focuser. I have a nitecrawler on the back end of mine and that balances it nicely but I am still at the very end of the dovetail in the saddle on the mount.
I run mine on an EQ8 but have an EQ6 as well and wouldn't try imaging with the Esprit 150 on the EQ6. I have used the Esprit 120 with the nitecrawler on it on the EQ6 and it copes well but the Esprit 150 is a much bigger scope and much heavier.
Brian
