'Telescope' here means tube and fork mount as they are connected .Only the tripod is listed seperately.
All I am suggesting is that you look at the weight of what you what components you will be carting out as an alternative to the EL8. Minimum of an HEQ5Pro EQ head plus counterweights - under 14kg ? I'm not sure.
And you may carry out the case that the UTA comes in to the point of the setup because generally you have to remove diagonals and finders etc to get the tube into its spot in the case and you want it all there for setup.
For example my Orion EON 120ED tube and basic fittings weighs 13.5 KG in its case... losing 250% extra light for the sake of what may be a couple of kg may not make so much sense ultimately.
