You can purchase the 12" solid, & convert it to a truss scope. It is not overly complicated, & plenty of help is at hand. My first dob is one I made myself, a 10". Bought the optics, built everything else. Just did my homework before I got to it. I'll be doing this with my 17.5", it is just too big & heavy as a solid tube. The satisfaction is incalculable.
I'm not sure that I am that confident with tools to try that yet. But it is an option. I actually was looking at the Meade Lightbridges too. They seem a bit over priced though and some say that you don't save that much room on a 10"???
