balance and flexure

I was thinking about it today after looking at a friends set up where he has a side by side plate. To do this it will set me back around $500 just to have all of my scopes on the mount at once. Alternately i can continue with the dovetail setup that i have now.

I was thinking that maybe if i am going to shoot thru the ED80 i may as well just have that on the EQ6 mount for the month. Then change when i want to shoot thru the C8. What do you think?

I can mount a 9x50 guidescope very, very securely on top of the ATO. Do you think there will be any noticable flexure? my friend has none.

Also if i change over scopes i obviously will have to re balance the set up.
Will this effect the accuracy of my guiding?

Love to hear your opinions
