Just a quick $.02. The CI-700 is a G-11 that was modified by Celestron (or others and subsequently called a CI-700)and from what I have heard it isn't as good a choice as the straight G11. I think they gears have 1/2 the number of teeth for one thing. Also, I like the Universal Dovetail plate for the G11 (with "Ken's" rings) over the G9.25 specific dovetail because you can reuse it for just about anything.
