Might sound like blasphemy to TAK aficionados, but I had a G11 for 10+ years and downsized to a CG5 when I downsized OTAs. I'm quite happy with it for my ~16lb OTAs. It handles high power planetary tracking with no problems at all. I have a padded case that fits it very nicely while still attached to its tripod so it's very easy to transport and fast to set up, almost G&G. For it's weight, I don't know if there's a mount/tripod that's functionally any better.
