Ok I'll go against the tide.
Load the sucker up... worked for me. I have done ap at 1800fl with a Highly modified (read very heavy) vc200 with an 100mm apo on its back and 4 counterweights with round stars. Didnt make too much difference to tracking to my eye. It has nice smooth periodic error which guides out nicely.
I did the hypertune. Not sure if it made much difference, it tracked well before and after. I did the hypertune because I thought I had a tracking problem, I later found out it was an optical problem with the ota.
The most important thing with tracking on these mounts is to get the worm spacings right... not too tight or too loose. Either way your in a world of pain.
My mount is used in my home observatory including all night, unattended, multi target imaging. I dont think I would swap it outright for a g11, I know I have a good example.
