as far as visual observing and photography go it will come down to how much weight you are trying to carry and how well balanced it is as too much weight and an unbalanced mount will give you greater dampening times and be more prone to movement by the wind etc.
go-to accuracy will depend on how well you train the mount although l would suspect that out of the box the G11 would be more accurate.
optimum load capacity is a tricky subject IMO, it comes down to sheer weight vs how that weight is distributed, length of OTA and side by side mounting etc.
with the EQ6 still having problems with the V3 controller the G11 would be the winner to me, it may be 2 1/2 times the price but it seems to work well with no inherent problems that l know off.
