I am not saying that the NJP is not a heavier mount or that it does not support more load. I am just saying that the rated capacity of the G-11 is based on Photography and Visual and that is according to Losmandy.
So, yes, the NJP would be a better mount for 60+ lbs, no doubt. But the G-11 will work with 60 lbs as stated by Losmandy. I have seen it done, though I do not load mine that heavy by any means, about 35-40 at the most, but that is because that is all my equipment weighs. 
But to say the G-11 will not do photography with more than 30 lbs is ridiculous.
The AP900, NJP, MI-250 all would be better suited for the 60 lbs load.
