I use the G11G/EdgeHD14 for visual only and have found the combination to be very well balanced. Placing the OTA on the mount using a 14" Casady/Losmandy style plate is a breeze. Robin Casady suggested the 14" dovetail would be better than smaller ones as it is more rigid over that length and less susceptable to flexing. It is much better to place the OTA into the dovetail rather than sliding it in.
The G11G requires the Counterweights shown in the pic i.e. 2 X 21 lbs & 1 X 11 lbs.
Haven't had any problems with the servo motors carrying the load as the balance is excellent and they don't sound any different when smaller OTA's are fitted.
