It take me all of about a minute to balance my setup, being a 90mm refractor and a C9.25. In my case it takes 2x 10Kg counterweights on my CGE, using a Losmandy DSBS plate. After you've done it one or two times you will remember the balance points for each scope and the process even simpler. I've marked the dovetails with some fluorescent masking tape to speed things up even more.
