Mine carried my 8" f/5 happily for seven years, until I had to give up. Just balance properly[slightly against the drive direction] and all will be well.

Thanks for the input Raymo.

I would love to go with the 8 inch instead if it will work. You didn't find that you had issues with wind etc.? I have noted elsewhere regarding the balance against the drive direction.
