The specs are actually unclear - 15kg at dovetail is not the same as 15kg away from dovetail (because you have piggybacked 10kg on tube weighting 5kg).
Basically, the less, and closer to mount, the better.
Personally, I wouldn't put much more than 10kg on EQ5, and more than 15kg on EQ6.
If you want/need to put on more, then it is better to hang it on other side of the DEC axle (and this way reduce the counterweight, or bring it closer to RA axle).
