Weight of 14" vs 12" vs 10" Scope

Does anyone know the weight of the various size Meade GPS scopes. I am debating 12" vs 14" purchase. I have used a old Meade 10" and I remember it wasn't exactly light. I'm a big guy but wonder if 14" scope would be to much for me at a dark site?
Thanks

I have the 10" LX200 GPS and it weighs 62 pounds. The manual states that the 12" weighs in at 73 pounds. Unfortunately, I have no information on the 14".

It's not so much the weight as it is the awkwardness. These scopes must be aligned on a bolt in the mount and can be a bit tough for one person to do. There is a mounting tray helper that would be a big help. I usually have another person around to help me out.

Personally, I think the 12" is the maximum size for a "transportable" scope, and still be setup by one person. The 14", although provided with a field tripod, is really for permanent installations, in my opinion.
