Gee Alex, thats the first negative comment I have ever heard about the FT..... new owners cutting corners????. My imaging train must weigh at least 2kg and with the 2 speed moonlight on the refractor racked out close to 100mm (sweet spot) I still notice no tilt or sag. The draw tube for the LX200 is much shorter and I could swing off that. The moonlites are built like tanks but they are also very heavy which may cause balance problems and add extra strain on the mount.
