I agree Stephen if all someone wants to do is visual work (though those big naglers can put a lot of weight on the back end), but if a guidescope and camera is added to the standard configuration then a weight set will almost certainly be needed to balance the setup, to reduce the strain on the gear and drive components. (Ie I'm taking about the standard meade LX90 LX200 and celestron fork mount setup)
