I agree with Matt. It may be able to 'handle it' but what about in a bit of wind or say you wish to use an ED80 as a guidescope which is far heavier than an 80mm achro. With mounts the more stable the better. I would say a HEQ5 would be fine for mounting two ED80's side by side but when you get to the moment arm of a 10 inch newt plus guidescope plus two cameras and other stuff you may be just on the limit.
Go the EQ6 if you can afford it.
