Thanks to the Dual Dec option, it is possible to use the second telescope as a counterweight itself, allowing a significative reduction of the counterweights use.
The possibilities to move the DEC arm towards the RA axis (with the same mechanism and concept of the M-zero, M-uno and M-due mounts), facilitate the balancing procedure allowing to use as less as counterweight possible or even without any counterweight at all.
