So what I seem to be picking up here is a new, out of the box GM8 will image with 20 lbs. if well balanced. Some tinkering and modifications could push it to 25 lbs. Stouter tripod recommended.?.?. User maintenance friendly?
Right now I plan on continuing with the optics and guide setup I have, but I'm sure that will change over time. The WO and everything else is a touch over 13 lbs so as it stands the GM8 would fit just fine. Where's that stimulus...
Lowly CG5-GT? I resemble that statement... 
Great info all around, and very informative.
Keep it rollin'!

Thanks to everyone! I had been at the hospital for some abdominal surgery since my last post, and I just now got home to read your responses. Like waassaabee said,"Great info all around, and very informative."

Why do we all associate with such lowbrow types?
