I guess I might be a bit precious about adding weights to my scopes. they are all DIY, so big magnets are not an option. Drilling into it to attach some counter weight mechanism doesn't thrill me, but it may well mean surgery.
I needed to add some weights to the base of my dob when I started using a parracor. I've strapped them on with self adhesive velcro. No holes, no worries.
