Do you find all that weight on the focuser plays havoc with your tracking/viewing? I know using both the paracorr and large televue eyepieces like the 21 ethos or 31 nagler in my 10" non-goto dob is hard work. The locking mechanism doesn't work too well if you're looking at anything not directly above you and I believe that there has to be some flexing in the optical chain with all that weight hanging off the focuser.
