Different scopes are designed for different purposes. A key question is do you intend to do astro-photography? If the answer is yes that at that rather large focal length you have to give serious consideration to the mount that can carry, point and track that size SCT with significant accuracy.
If astrophotography isn't seriously in your planning, either combo will give significant satisfaction, otherwise I would ponder the Meade might be ahead with its ACF design and mirror lock, but beyond both of these considerations - ask will the mount suffice or do you need a G11 + Gemini or better - to those that have experience with both!
