I have a 12" solid tube and I had to build a trolley to make moving it from the hose to the backyard feasible. The 14" and 16" are BIIIGGG scopes and you really need to see on to appreciated how big and heavy they are.
Personally I find the issue with size is not getting it out, it's putting it away. At the end of an observing session spending 15 minutes carting all the bits inside is alittle daunting when its 2am, about 0 degrees and everything is wet and covered in dew.
To be honest you will enjoy your observing more with a smaller scope (8' to 12" max) and for the first 12 months there are so many bright targets to see that look just great in a moderate scope you will have plenty to look at.
