While I have a 22kg 12" newt, plus 25kg of counterweights on my EQ6, I agree with Mick that it's not really recommended as the best course of action.
It's really right on the limit of the EQ6, and if you wanted to add guide scopes etc, it just might be too much for it.
The G-11 is the way to go - Alchemy and Paul Mayo have their 12" GSO newts on a G-11 and their images are testament to the quality of the equipment (not to mention the quality of the imagers themselves).
