Curious about the bigger Fornax mounts.

I was rather surprised at the [claimed] carrying capacity/price ratio of the larger Fornax mountings: 102 & 152.
Sadly, the problem of carrying long and heavy refractors [even doubled up] still remains a complete unknown.

Very little appears online about Fornax mountings. Most of it is just parroting the standard, sales patter.
Very little discussion about them on here, either. Most posters were pointing at alternatives or simply changing the subject.

These mountings are available, usually with a modest waiting period, from some of the popular, online dealers.

Does anybody here actually own one of the bigger Fornax GEMs and is willing share their first hand experience? Possibly by PM?

Please don't start suggesting alternatives because they hold absolutely NO interest for a big, heavy refractor, high res. imaging fan on a budget.
I am really only interested in hearing rumours and hands-on tales about the "Fornax 100 & 150." [Later 102 and 152]

Thanks for your time. :)
