Do you use risers with your AT80EDT?

Awaiting Santa's delivery of one of these AT80EDT scopes. Plan to use it for wide field imaging and visual. For those that have this scope, I am curious if you have found that you need to use risers to elevate the scope a bit in order to achieve balance, or is it long enough that there not a need?

Thanks!
