I have an EQM-35 - I can lift my scope (a Takahashi FS-78), plus the mount with CW's on and carry it out the door with no dramas whatsoever. Plus the SW mounts have come a LONG way - this one seems very good (albeit very tight axes which makes balancing an interesting endeavour).
At just over $1000 delivered ex-Andrews, or $670 as-new in the classifieds, it's hard to go wrong.
