Unfortunately many manufacturers ignore the inertial moment of your Tube assembly when quoting payload.

In a nutshell, a long refractor can easily reduce the stiffness of say a 50kg
"rating" , to half that number.

Losmandy's new G-11T has great bang for buck IMHO and has much better tracking accuracy than say the EQ8.
