The optical tube and base wiegh 134 lbs and the tripod wieghs 66lbs....i owned an lx 200 12" and that ota and base wieghed 84 lbs and that was quite a lift,but doable with great care,i had it mounted on the rcx  tripod which was a monster also assembled.

I have a 12" RCX 400. It is a beast and  it mostly lives on a pier in my observatory. I highly recommend installing a set of Peterson Get-A-Grip Ergonomic Handles on both sides of the fork arms - it makes a huge difference compared to the tiny hard edged handles it comes with.  The 12" RCX is a fantastic scope optically and if you do wind up getting it I can make some recommendations on how to deal with the sometimes fiddly electronics.
