G11 - do I make the change?

I have an EQ6 - it plods along well enough. At times guiding can be a wrestle.

I've been driving it by Starry Night Pro via EQMOD. I like the Logitech wireless controller. At this stage I think I know what I am doing.

Now I have some cash free as a result of sale of a CCD, I am tempted to upgrade but I've been put off by the posts about the G11.

Do I risk it and make the change?

At its heaviest - I have an RC8 sitting on the mount with an Orion ST80 guidescope which I will remove when I manage to work out how to use the OAG component in my QSI. The other scope is a Tak FSQ106 - not that much lighter!

No permanent set up for me - I lug it out onto the back deck when I want to image. I would use it in the field - if I could find the time to get away from Sydney.

Any thoughts/suggestions?

Pete
