Hey G-day, I reckon this journey is mainly one of how big your wallet is and how many other competing commitments wants a piece of it's cash.
I would have started with a G-11 if I could justify the cash to the family, but I couldn't... these things, and those above them, are for most of us, seriously large financial outlays. Hence I've ended up with much the same as you... a pier mounted EQ5 to carry a C9.25. Of course as my pursuits are purely planetary imaging I can also get away with a less salubrious mount... but the cost again is realy what's holding me back.
cheers,
