That would be a big mount if you are planning to use a 10 inch Newt on it. Even the old Starfinder Equatorials were hard pressed to hold their 10 inch F4.5. I imagine they would be your best bet if you insist on this changeover--but they were very limited.

And, before you decide to change--make sure your mirror cell can handle being turned weird ways.
