I have a C8 and a 100mm refractor. The c8 is very light, more compact and much easier to carry out using the weight bar as handle, even when assembled with OAG and camera. Particularly when you take off any useless weight and finderscope and stick with a telrad.
The crisp wide field view through the refractor, is worth the effort , although it is like holding an overgrown baby and probably needs a handle. I have not owned any other scopes but I can see the attraction of a new fast Newtonian if the weight is manageable. I would like one of those for AP but they also look quite long and heavy.
