Hi ezistyles,
I have the LXD75, acquired about 3 months ago. I use it separately with a 6kg DK cassegrain tube about 600mm long and a 9kg C9.25 Smit Cassegrain of the same tube length. It handles both well for planetary imaging. The real problem you'll ahve with the 10in skywatcher is it has it's weight a long way either side of the mount so it will wobble about at the touch of a hand - should settle quickly enough. Wind weill be a problem. When I use the C9.25 with a large dew shield it has similar size as your 10in and the wind gets it and whips it about a bit.
If you do get the LXD75 insist on 2inch diam tripod legs - these are great and should be standard on the new ones.
cheers,
