From memory I had a C9.25 + 80mm Meg - quite heavy - and a Canon 400D on a CG5 - using 15kgs of counterweights.
That pushed it to its limits - but it managed it just (for astrophotograpy) doing under 5 mintue auto guided subs - on good (not windy days).
The more I read stories of mounts with problems - the more I love the Atlux I upgraded too. It carries the same gear + a 5" MAK, OAG, Losmandy bars, motor focusers etc.... This set up points in the low tens of arc seconds accuracy and tracks superbly. I find 30 minute subs at 2.3 metre focal lengths routinely easy - I'm blessed!
One day all my gear will likely end up on a paramount class mount - but the story for you is if you balance, shelter and set up your gear really well you'll likely be happy with it!
