Not sure you are correct that they know all the caveats, until you set it up and take it down a few times. Transporting them usually shows glitches, etc. I have had more than few conversations at Riverside when I had a 20inch there. It was a great build, the portable factor probably a big hurdle.
It takes most of a full day to set up. It will probably never be at SPOC.
People who build monster Dobs know the caveats very well, and have accepted them. More power to them all.

He will need the area of a Heli-pad to set it up, with the adjacent parking. Sounds like the whole SPOC parking area.
