In my opinion, the Cube, as nice as it is for SMALL scopes, would be challenged by your OTA. Instead, I would recommned that you consider the Mini Tower, instead. I've owned and used the GPS version of the Cube and it just won't handle anything over 5 pounds with any reliability, regardless of what iOptron states. The Mini is what the Cube SHOULD have been and I'm waiting quite impatiently for mine to arrive.

Thanks, Steve.
I'll await your appraisal of the mini tower. Any idea of when they're supposed to hit market and at what price point?
