Ken, for amateur scopes I'd have to say trusses do have a role - both as a significant weight reduction compared to a rigid old-school tube, and as a means to make a large scope both portable and very compact.

The big downside is baffling. An old-school newtonian with a full-length solid tube has a lot going for it, in this respect.
