I used both for planetary imaging, some details I noticed about them:

My Review of the C11 vs C14
Very nice and interesting review as usual. I believe a wrong image sneaked in with the caption "The C11 on the Losmandy G11 on the right and the C14 on the Losmandy Titan on the left. Note the three 26-lb (12kg) counterweights needed for the C14". The current image shows an empty mount on the left and something that looks like a william optics scope on the right.

Well Written Helpful Respectful Concise
Very nice review from an experienced user. I've been entertaining a C14 over a C11, but the extra wind pressure and thermal mass you mentioned have discouraged me.
For visually observing DSO's, what difference do you experience between the two?

Thank you, believe it or not I barely do any visual work so I wont be able to give you a reliable comparison.
I know visual users usually prefer larger apertures, my views of Jupiter through the C14 were nice but I always preferred the resolution through imaging:

Good eye Wolfgang, I meant to say the Titan with 3 x 12kg was used for the C14.
Ill have that corrected.
Thanks!

Hi Rouz, I didn't spot the mistake in the caption, it's the image itself that seems wrong becaues it shows neither the C11 nor the C14.

Ah, I got it: you just want to show the mounts, then the image is ok. I misunderstood the caption in a way that you want to show the C14 on the Titan and the C11 on the G11.
Sorry for the confusion.

Yes exactly.
Do do you a large class mount for the C14.
