It can take some careful maneuvering at times, but I'm able to balance my 8" meade sct with either my 80ED or 60mm Carton refractor. Instead of balancing in the normal 2 direction, you have a 3rd direction now to take into consideration (ie, counterweight distance down the shaft, forward and aft placement of otas (there's a bit of a trick to this now using two otas) and sideway placement) . You just need to make sure you have plenty of plate length on both the sbs base plate and the "carrying" plates to allow plenty of latitude in where your going to position each scope. The standard losmandy plates are plenty long enough.
