I'm in that situation, had the HEQ5 and now EQ6. There is no way I'd attempt to move the mount, legs, and scope all connected. Maybe mount and legs together, but not with scope, particularly a 200mm reflector. Too heavy and cumbersome.
I reckon it did discourage me a little from use. Just thinking about the levelling, aligning, balancing, setting up you have to do every time you want to set up. Throw in a few nights where the clouds roll in just as you finish the above routine... it does turn you off a little.
Be nice to have a permanet setup possible.
