I can comment on #4, as I have a C9.25 that I use on both a GM8 and a GM100
(predecessor to the G11). IMO, the GM8 is enough mount for visual use but
not for photography or imaging through the scope.
There was a discussion recently (within the past three weeks) about GEM vs.
fork. You might want to check the archives.

I am going to purchase an SCT but am undecided on a GEM or a fork
mount. Under consideration are: C8 Deluxe, LX 200, U2K and C 9.25 on
a GM 8. Any information you could offer on the following would be
appreciated:
1) Advantages / disadvantages of a SCT-GM8 combination compared to a
fork mounted SCT.
2) Portability of GM 8 compared to forks.
3) Experience of anyone using a C 9.25 with a GM 8.
4) Is a GM 8 enough mount for the C 9.25 or is a G 11 more
appropriate.
This will be a significant investment for me so any information you
can provide would be appreciated.
