Robert: I have a 7'APO and a 12.5" newtonian and have had a 8" Mak Newt. There is no comparison for deep sky between the smaller and larger scopes. Keep the 11" with fans installed as they make a marvelous difference.
Mak Newts wweigh a ton. I nearly dropped my from 5ft while placing onto my G11.
AS regards your 6": I found it is very safe and easy to place my 7 on my G11 as long as the cradle is turned 90 degrees to the polar axis with the counter wt on. I place it over the open bars of the Parallax cradle. there has never been a problem. I prefer to do this myself. I am 69" tall and I am 58 y/0.
