I am going to buy a discmount DM-6 alt-az mount. It will have a G11 saddle. My existing Intes-MAK has a Vixen GP dovetail on it, and I am also going to buy a TMB-80 who's shoe is also Vixen GP compatible.
Will this fit a G11 Saddle?

First of all, welcome to Cloudy Nights.
Second, the DM-6 is a very nice alt-az mount. I think you will like it a lot.
To answer your question, No. The Vixen dovetail is narrower than the standard Losmandy dovetail, so that G-11 saddle will be too wide. The easy fix is to get an adapter from ADM like this: Losmandy-Vixen . Then you could use either type of dovetail with your mount.
