I would like to get some feedback from those of you who have upgraded from the 12' to the 14" LX200. I have a 12" LX200 and am finally this spring going to put up a concrete pier with pier plates/sonotube and leave it permanently mounted ( I also have an 8" LX200 that I use for Boy Scout outings) For a while I thought maybe in a couple of years I would get the ultimate 16" LX200, but in reality it is way too big in case I had to ever move from my present location I have a Takahahsi FS102 and do you think the 14" LX200 could handle it with mounting rings. Overall is the additional expense worth it. Any feedback would be appreciated. Coy Fullen
