Losmandy gm8

Hi all,

I've been dabbling in imaging for the past two years with a cgem coupled with an orion ed102t cf. However with a 30" periodic error (after pec ) I feel it's time to upgrade to a higher quality mount.
I don't plan on upgrading to larger aperture anytime soon so am really just after a quality mount to support my current scope. All together with cameras and guiders etc.. the current mass is about 7-8 kg.

I've narrowed it down to a Losmandy gm8. Just wanted to get peoples opinions on whether they would suggest any other mount? I know the g11 has twice the capacity but it's also twice as heavy (portability is important as I live in the city) and pushing the budget.

Cheers in advance
