If the scope is permanently mounted then I guess it would be ok, but few are. An un-necessary accessory on the back of Skywatcher newts imho.
I’m happy with the ones I put on the back of my 200p as well however I don’t store it standing up. I do understand how it would not suit someone who stores their OTA standing up though.

I assume that the incoming 200pds has the knobs based on what I have seen. If not I will buy a set for the rear as well.
