I've found this discussion very interesting! I'm currently debating the EQ6 vs G11 issue myself. While I know the issues both sides are presenting, it often helps to hear others point them out to keep things in perspective.
I know I'm better off getting the best mount I can - and eventually I will! All this time in acquiring my new gear I've intended on a G11 (atleast), however, recently things have changed slightly and I find myself considering the EQ6/EQMOD route. I've come very close to pulling the trigger either way on a number of occasions - I just wanna get out there!! I've even found myself in times of weakness looking at Titans/AP mach1's, 900, 1200's etc!!!
Yeah, I know, how can you go from a EQ6 to a AP? Same way I went from a 80ED piggybacked on my LX to a FSQ/ST2k I suppose!.... It's all Jase' fault!!
Ultimately for me, it's a matter of either risking it and getting out there now with a EQ6 that I 'may' be happy with and clock some time up and upgrade later to a Losmandy, or, wait a little while longer and to do it right/better/easier(??) the first time round with the G11, knowing I'll probably have an easier/happier time with it
. Given the time/investment I've had this paperweight sitting on my desk for so far, another month or three wont hurt!
I just need to fight these impulses to go the quick route!!
