Mount upgrade needed - suggestions?

Hi All, I want to upgrade the LXD75 mount with auto-star for a new mount that has slightly better carrying capacity and better auto-guding properties... at the moment I'm using ascom guiding. Want to be able to carry up to 12kg for imaging.

I don't need Go To, except in that it seems to be necessary (?) to get autoguiding to work...?

EQ6 Pro with Synscan, G11 (I assume I need Gemini), perhaps the HEQ5 synsscan mounted on my portable pier. Any other suggestions.

Is the extra cost of the G11 warranted for accurate auto-guiding with todays EQ6 capability?

cheers,

Rob
