That 14kg includes the complete mount , right?
You are still going to need to put the refractor tube on a german equatorial mount. It would make more sense to change over to a system were all the components are light enough for you such as a separate 8" SCT tube, rather than going down in aperture. An 8" SCT tube is a few KG lighter than the ED 127- so putting either on say an HEQ5Pro..you will still be 2 kg lighter and 250% more light with the 8"....
You'll still need dew zapping equipment with a refractor.
