If you can find a Meade 14"R, it makes a good imager because of its flat field. BUT, it's 69lbs without anything attached. As Rod said, your well into the Titan or the AP1200's capacity.
The C14 is 45lbs and a proven imager. However, you're still looking at a Titan or better. And again, as Rod said, there's that long focal length.
Getiing to that size OTA, I wouldn't even think about fooling with a fork mount unless you get something exotic.
For portability, maximum would be the C11 on a CGE. Or you could do like me and get a Vixen VMC260L. Only 22 lbs, but it comes in at a very slow f11.5. Confused?
