back in the OLD days, Losmandy mounts had some issues with machining tolerances, however these days, they are superior to anything synta releases in a similar weight class...
A GM-8 will destroy a HEQ5 for accuracy, PE etc, and a G11 will do the same to an EQ6 given similar load percentages...
Also, despite the EQ6 being rated to carry 24kgs, I'd like to see you accurately guide and attempt photography with 24kgs on one.. I've tried. I failed. a G11 will carry 24kgs with no issues what so ever..
No comparison. If you can afford the Losmandy mount in the weight class you're looking at, then get it....
FWIW, Gemini goto can be a pain from my minimal experience with it.. a lot of users opting to go with the non-goto digital drive mount with encoders and an Argo-Navis. cost is a little less overall than buying a go-to mount too..
