Hi Mark,
I was surprised when I saw the specs. on Ozscopes site of both the Saxon 10" & 10" collapsible, the tubes both weighed 12.42Kg. Saxon range anyway. I was a bit unsure of the truss's to begin with, but if they were much lighter I would have given them more consideration. I'm not worried about the size, more the weight issue to lug around. I don't think I'd have the patience to set it up everytime. After consideration of the truss's on the pros and cons, I've decided to stick with a sold tube anyway.
