I'm thinking about getting a Nexstar 11 soon and would like to piggyback a Tak. FS78 on it. How feasible is this? I see there are mounts available for this but would like to hear from anyone with experiance.

You should be fine. I have an ST80 piggybacked and the mount is still very stable @ 300X with a JMI focuser and a 10mm Pentax XL.
I counter weighted mine with a home made aluminum angle and 5lbs home gym equipment as I am too cheap to spend the $100 on a Losmandy counter weight system.
