Some trussmen put a big black stretchy sock over the exposed frame bits to help ward of dew, stray light from getting to the mirror, and also to help prevent eyepiece filters and even eyepieces from falling through the trusses and onto the mirror when changing.
With assembly and dissasembly you might have to tweak your collimation more often than a solid OTA, but having said that i would have a 12" LB in a heartbeat and they look super attractive too.
