A good mount for AP155

Hi
I recently acquired a new AP155 f7 EDFS version (2.7" focuser). I currently have a latest version G11 (with Servo drives) with Gemini GOTO on a pier. I am looking forward to mainly CCD imaging. Do you think the G11 is an adequate mount for CCD imaging. I have been using the G11 with a 4" refractor and a SBIG camera with great images and success. The AP155(OTA) wt is 23lbs. If the G11 is not adequate, what are some suggestions? I would love to get an AP900 but as you all know there is a long waiting list. How about the MI250 or the Losmandy HMG Titan mounts? Any help is much appreciated
Best regards
Ashton
