Thanks for confirming my suspicions! I was agonising over whether to go with the 9.25 or the 11. In the end I thought the 9.25 would be big enough for regular setting up and taking down, as well as a bit lighter for adding on imaging equipment. I am please with my choice. The 9.25 doesn't make me wish for my old 10" dob - it is a fine view.
I surprises me how few people seem to use the CGEM on this forum - it is a nice mount! Maybe we are just quieter than heq5 and eq6 users..
