What is the portability of the EM200 like vs a EQ6 or G11?
My EQ6 weighs a ton and us a bit unweildy to move around.
The other thing is I've read a lot about the EM200 having a great polar scope and being really easy to align, but does that hold true for us southern hemisphere folks?
I've been wondering about the EM200 for my LX200R 10" SCT.

However It will NOT handle my Takahashi Mewlon 300 which is approximately 57lbs.
Similarly I would not trust my Mewlon 300 on a G11 mount.
I used to have a C11 OTA some time ago and they are approximately 28lbs so the EM200 will handle this easily.
The EM200 has good tracking but as to a reliable comparison between both I have never owned a G11 so I cannot directly compare.
There may be other IIS members that have actually owned both to give a better judgment on a direct comparison for you.
