Thanks guys - very helpful comments. The CPC1100 is 3Kgs heavier than the CPC950 at some 26Kgs so its heavy but apparently easier to handle than the Meade 10" which I tried to lift in a shop the other day; crikey, how do people manage those things. Many forum posts say how much easier and ergonomic the Celestrons are to lift onto the tripod.
I can see that the larger 1100 is probably the way to go.
