Raymo you're right... though I think a large part of the problem concerns the larger SCTs where the OTA remains attached to the fork and base.
While that's ok for an 8" it means the 9-11" scopes are a heavy lift unless you have de-forked them to use on some other mount.
And even my MK91 is a tad over 15kgs and carrying it is like hugging a water heater.
