Perhaps you missed my comment that I've just removed the additional tubes and weights, not kept them!
The very lightwight guidescope assembly is actually quite solid and works well. It's not mounted on a 'stalk', but directly to the losmandy plate via the rings, which are probably a little sturdier than the standard finder dovetail arrangement, which also worked well.
As to money spent, I still have and use all that I've purchased, apart from some excess weights which I'm happy to pile in the corner, so can't see much waste there. Now my time, that's a different matter, but hey, it's just a hobby.
