Mark. A smaller mount like that could be "helped" slightly by a little lateral thinking in getting the load as close to the piviot as possible. It will take some ingenuity but could pay dividends in weight savings. Most seem to flop the guide-scope in rings, atop the imaging scope. And while this is OK, it just shifts the weight outwards, and this is something you can do without with a smaller more challenged mount.
Given you affinity for using your hands design a close in, dual mount system for the imager and guider.
