Hi Mike,
You also need to consider, is the mount going to be out in the open or in a enclosed dome or roll off roof type shelter. The dome will give the most protection. Roll off roof type shed will give less protection, unless you have really high walls, or walls that fold down away from the wind.
I use to mount my 16" f4.5 with 8" SCT Celestron on Goliath mount with no problems. But that is inside an observatory.
