When I was looking for my Losmandy I was deciding between it and a Tak. I went with the Losmandy because of cost.
One thing that I remember noticing, and which has held true since for me at least, was that in my research I signed up to the Losmandy Yahoo! group and the Tak Yahoo! group... The Losmandy group had lots of discussion about how to improve the mount, what PE error it had, solving problems, etc. In stark contrast, the Tak group only had discussion about pictures taken with the mount, and achievments people had made with the mount, etc. The difference was like night and day.
Now, after having my Losmandy (all be it a GM8 not G11 that you're considering) for something like 4 years I think what I noticed in those groups still holds true, from my perspective too. Losmandy seems to have the capabilty but can be fiddly. Tak "just works". Shame about the price difference (if buying new).
That's my view of it anyhow.
