Finder scope or not to finder scope? That is the question. :-)

Hey guys! So I am getting ready to order the mirror for my 12.5" truss tube build and trying to decide whether or not to order a finder scope. I currently have a Telrad that I could use and that is considerably lighter than a finder but it is only going to get me close to deep sky objects. I am considering the Stellarvue 60 & 80mm finders. The added weight on the cage could mean adding counter weight to the rocker box. Do you guys think the Telread will get me close enough or will I need the extra magnification from a finder scope?

Cheers,
Greg
