This is for exactly the reasons you mention its not critical. But they are very critical.
You cant have droop at all, and the major issue with RC's is that as you go out of collimation, the more severe/crappy the image gets. Where other scopes can take some miscollimation, the RC's need near perfect alignment.

My RCOS 12.5 inch wasn't that heavy. My Tak BRC250 is 2.5 inches less aperture and weighs just as much if not slightly more.

Hey when do we get first light from your CDK20???

C'mon Theo I'm hanging out here man.
