For simplicity and carrying capacity is not an issue then go with the EQ6 IMO it provides most bang for your buck
Losmandy did not have any alternative but to release the G2 before the software was finished. There were parts used in the G1 that are no longer available.

I've done that tradeoff - the simple to use Celestron hand control for the better engineered G11 and steep Gemini learning curve. I think you'd need a CGE Pro to get the same load carrying capacity.
