Yes, the concept of what s portable is an individual perception. I have watched people struggle with large Dobs (myself included), and heavy EQ imaging mounts in remote locations. In hindsight, the definition portability definitely changes with age, as the older you get the less portable everything becomes. For most people into imaging, weight has advantages, and many of us gravitate towards observatories if we have the space, resources, etc. Personally, having tried a few light weight portable mounts, I would save my money and buy something that has all round potential, say capable of at least 15kg of imaging load and a good guiding history. Just my 2 cents.
