This is my concern as well.. so I still use my 10" newtonian (13kg) on dobson mount.
Some people modified EQ6 head to be like Losmandy's.. I am not sure about that either.
Anyway I will not risk it with current and supplied dovetail bar, it looks too flimsy to me, like OK for up to 5kg but not much more that that.
