collimation holds considerably better then a truss design. easier to set up. if there is stray light .. you will need a shroud with a truss.
the only advantage of a truss is portability. imo... and probably reaching ambient temp quicker.
I have a solid tube 10" gso, it's easy to move .. but I only goto my backyard because the skies are fairly dark where I am. if you need to travel .. maybe a truss is better
