I had the C11 SGT.
While I loved the scope I'd buy the OTA seperately and put the saved $1000 towards a minimum of an EQ6 and better still a G11.
While the CG5 is a neat little mount, it is way way way undersized for the heft of a C11, I'd personally stick no more than an 8" OTA on it.
Why Celestron offers it on the CG5 is beyond me, I wouldn't even recommend is ample for visual with a C11.
I'd also replace the standard dovetail with something a bit more meat.
