I have a C11 on the CGE which is basically the same tube as used in the CPC and Advanced. Prior to this I had a C8N-GT which is an 8" Newt on the CG5 mount. Whilst the mount seemed to cope quite well with the 8" tube, the 11" SCT tube is quite a lot heavier and I think you would be pushing the limit. The cost of a CGE mount is, of course, considerably more than the CG5 or EQ6 and so is probably out of your budget. I think I would be going for the C11 tube on an EQ6. A number of people have this setup and I think the EQ6 would handle it with ease.
Although the CG5 would probably be adequate for visual, the difference in price between that and an EQ6 would make me spend a little more and get a mount that I won't be changing sooner rather than later.
