C6 on Vixen Skypod?

Hi:

I would like to know if anyone out there has put a C6 on a Vixen skypod. The capacity rating of this mount was increased by the company to 15 lbs. The C6 OTA weighs ten. but with eyepieces (TV Radians) and such, 15 lbs is easy to get to.. I am afraid to overload the mount. Rumor has it that is never a good thing for the longevity of the motors and gears.

Any information will be greatly appreciated.
