Hi dave the dimensions of both scopes have to be basically the same.

My GSO 16" has to be totally disassembled to be transported , The Rocker Box, Upper and Lower OTA fit nicely into my 4x4 wagon the struts take up no room.

Anyone who shifts these around as a complete unit must be a cousin to the hulk.

Well now also i own the lightbridge 10" and i can tell you they disassemble in the same amount of time , there are no hidden tricks to it.

The rocker box is a large item and could not want the thing to collapse to save space it needs to be rigid for me to keep the argo navis precise.

I always transport mine around the place from A to B sure the collimation is always out when i reassemble but thats not an issue as i always collimate the scope before i use it.

As portability they are on par with each other.

Cheers Kev.
