I don't understand the comments about the CG5 legs - I just bought one (CG5-ASGT) and it DOES have 3, 2" legs... it's a great mount  Are you referring to an older model? must be!

I was under the impression the CG-5 was more sturdy, and it was the LXD that had 1.75" legs. Has Meade upgraded and not updated their advertised specs or manual?
Years ago. The slim legs were offered for only about the first year or so of production.

I opted to get a CG5 and the decision was made because the place I purchased from was out of LXD75 mounts. Truly a toss up.
