Rowland,
Another consideration is what are you going to be putting on the mount. There is no point in getting a mount if it won't carry the OTA properly.
I bought my G11 because I wanted the extra carrying capacity of the Losmandy mount. I have a 10"RC weighing in at 16 kilos. With guide scope, cameras, heating etc it is getting closer to 20 kilos.
So the carrying capacity as well as the price was a deciding factor.
I must admit that I was very close to getting a AP1200 but decided it wasn't portable enough to be dragged out every weekend. Would be perfect if I had an observatory but that is a little bit down the track.
