My friend had a HEQ5, and with 12kg worth of telescope and equipment, it was struggling with the guiding. Trust me you dont want to be that close to the limit for AP it will just cause you big headaches down the road. You also have to take the limits of the mounts posted by the manufacturers with a grain of salt, they're usually more optimistic than realistic. It might be able to move and guide the scope around but doesn't mean it'll do it well! It's like driving your car flat out on the freeway. Sure, the car will do it but is it safe and how much will the car wear out? Probably a bad analogy but you get the point!
