How do you mount your OTA to your Teegul?

I'm assuming most people who have Tak refractors and a Teegul use the Tak tube holder mounted directly to the Teegul.
I'm wanting to use saddle/plate/ring system for mounting my FS102 to my Teegul.
Is a Losmandy G11 saddle and plate overkill?
I really want it solid, but don't want to spend money where I don't have to.

Hi David:

I do use the Tak ring to hold my Sky 90 to a Teegul.

Astro-Physics however makes a nice machined adapter that will bolt between the Teegul and a typical saddle. I have one of these. It is a very nice solution.
