I am thinking that I would prefer the RC design over a newt when getting to these kinds of apertures, for the reasons that Greg has brought up. The RC, CDK & Honders designs allow for structurally more stable mounting with less reinforcement, to an extent of course. The non primary end of these telescopes is only holding the secondary mirror as opposed to having to withstand the entire imaging weight which can become quite heavy very quickly!
