One of our clubs' most prolific astrophotographers, Martin, has his Mel Bartels-driven Vixen (CG5 originator) equatorial head mounted on the original cross-braced aluminium tripod and it carries a C8 SCT with camera piggybacked with no trouble at all. The proof is in the photography.
I have the steel tripod on mine (essentially the same setup) and I reckon that it flexes MORE in the lower legs than the alloy one. Go figure....
