Thanks Paul - much appreciated. I tend to agree that the LX is a bit heavier than the C-11 - by about 3kg I believe. I'm of the opinion that the advertised 27kg capacity of the G-11 would be conservative, as they'd be silly not to say that.
I'd LOVE to go to a Titan, but at an additional $7k my wife tells me, very positively, that I'm dreaming.
Cheers
Chris

As far as a LX200 on a G11, I saw one at bintel and it looked very big on the G11. A C11 is a fair few kg lighter than a LX200 12 inch so maybe that would make all the difference.
I dont blame you for not wanting to 'give away' your scope. I am planning on selling my C11 and would be happy enough to at least get enough to get a new C11 OTA or maybe a new LX200 R 10 inch OTA. Maybe the pain of selling your scope at a bit less than what it is worth would be offset by a nice shiny new LX200 R 10 or C11 on your G11.
Just my 2 bits worth
