Celestron CPC weight

I am looking at a CPC 11 but the 60 plus pounds for the heaviest component is much heavier than I want to lift. I saw the newer mount (CGE) offered used an OTA of 20 lbs or so.

Is this mount as good as the one with CPC? Is it as sturdy? Is it worth the cash?

I know the mount weight is heavy, but it is easier to carry a mount than a tube. (I think)


thanks
