Yep, Brendan, you are quite right. My very rough guesstimate was based on my 10" dia, 2" thick mirror, which, if I remember correctly, weights about 3kg.. but my memory might be corrupted here, it was a long time ago when I was building my newt.
And I forgot about corrector plate..
This weight might be a hard nut to crack even for a professional telescope designer..
