>Superior Optics!  Using it permanently mounted so I can't complain about the weight.  Mount is accurate and quieter then my LX200 10" Classic.  A little bit of shakiness in the mount, but settles out fairly quickly.  Overall, and excellent value.  I was considering the 16", but with a $10K difference between 14" and 16", just couldn't justify it.
