Hi Cam

I think they are rated to carry about 9kg. But balanced correctly you could probable push 10kg.
As far as accuracy, if your correctly polar aligned, goto and tracking are very good. I have been using this mount for a couple of years mostly for astrophotography with some pretty good results.
These were taken on this mount , through an ED 100 and a modded 20d (guided).
I recently upgraded to an EQ6, otherwise I would still be using it.
