$5699 from My Astro shop. That's not bad. 50 Kg's once setup. The 16" is over 80kg's I believe. So while not a what we would call an ultra light its definitely shed a lot of weight. Lack of goto would bother some. But, we don't know if there wont be a goto option in the future. I wouldn't be surprised if it was in design/testing at the moment.
It seems to be clearly designed as a easily transportable deep sky beast. I am personally considering this as an upgrade next year.
