Is it easy enough moving it with a scope (e.g. 200mm reflector) on it? Does the effort dull the urge to use the mount regularly?

Personally I dont move it with a scope. With scope and counter weights attached, I wouldnt want to be lugging it around. I need to manovre my setup through a sliding door and down some steps, so I take the scope out first, then go back for the mount without counter weights.
