WoW! That's actually NOT as big as I imagined it would be, doesn't look like a big leap over the 12"! It's sped up from f5 to f4.5, not f4, that's reasonable I guess, but the primary and bucket alone is a sweet 26kg, vs 16kg of the 12", I'd struggle with that.
Even so, the "truss design" maybe less useful as a point of mobility on this thing since this beast is less "transportable" then the other truss scopes in the range, but even if you don't plan to transport it, what's in the market that can compete with 16" for, what's it gonna be: $3k? Truss or not. Looks amazing.
