Great review! I have an SVX152T and have been looking at the Losmandy G11T. How do you like the G11T? Would you recommend it for a home mount/observatory? Thank you in advance!
I do like my G11T. It is extremely overbuilt and Losmandy mounts tend to last a long time as a result. It is very stable, even with my C14 on it. The tripod it comes with is very strong and not particularly heavy. All Losmandy mounts are easy to work on with regular tools and there are plenty of videos put out my Scott Losmandy to show you how to adjust things. It works very well with my Asiair and it is good with autoguiding. I have had really good success using it for my traveling imaging mount. It isn’t really expensive. It also looks kind of steam punky. 
It has a few cons. The combined weight of the RA and Dec modules is 62 pounds. I don’t have trouble moving it around, but if your back isn’t healthy it can be a real issue. The goto isn’t as good with my G11T as it is with my Celestron CGX-L. It takes at least twice as many calibration stars to do as well as the Celestron mount in that respect.
I got my G11T because I wanted a mount I wouldn’t have to replace it for a long time.
I think it would be great for a permanent setup.
