Both are good scopes depending on what you hope to do with them...

What is that you want to do?? Are collimation, field of view, cooldown, dew, setup time, issues that you are aware of?

The C11 + Atlas has an advantage in that the Atlas mount
could be used with a wide range of future scopes you
might have - refractors, etc. - its a bit more flexible.

Orion has excellent customer service.

I'd vote the Orion. The Atlas mount is very versatile. You can mount other kinds of scopes. I imagine you can mount scopes side by side on it.

Here's an animated review of the Atlas Mount:

Orion's got great customer service.
