C6-SCT Mounting Question. Would a CG-4 Cut it?

Looking to mount the OTA on a CG-4 or CG-5 (non Go-To). Looking for a mounting solution that will keep my budget in line. I would like to move up into a go-to system later as funds permit (1-2 years).

The question is regarding mounting the C6 SCT on the CG-4. I have been told the CG-4 is a little to light of a mount and should consider the manual control CG-5 second hand. I have no experience with this OTA or mount. I am moving over from a ETX125 where there was nothing to change in the mount setup.

I have been told the CG-4 may be to little mount for higher magnifications and any type of imaging and deep space observing.

Any comments or feedback or personal experience with the C6 on a CG-4. I am assuming there is no question about the CG-5 being optimal?

Thanks

IMHO, more than sufficient for visual use. That short SCT tube helps--a LOT.
