I have a 16" Lightbridge (now sadly in storage in Canberra as I am living overseas at the moment). I found it to be reasonably portable, and quick to set up and break down. The primary mirror box is heavy and the shape is awkward, but I managed to pick it up and carry it short distances from the car. I put lockable wheels on the base to make moving on a hard surface easier. It fit into the back of my station wagon easily and I think it is a great option for the aperture. I understand that the quality of the primary mirror is a bit variable with these scopes as they are not top of the range, but the one I got seemed to be one of the better ones, based on the opinion of another more experienced amateur astronomer.
