Mewlon-250S

Well the Mewlon-250S finally arrived after some delay over Christmas, not that an early delivery would have been any good because I'm still waiting on the dovetail mounting plate. So what is different on the version S, well no standard dovetail plate and no magnetic weight normally found on the standard version of the Mewlon-250. So does the Mewlon-250S actually need this magnetic balance weight even though this version of Mewlon uses the Takahashi BRC-250 tube rings? This scope is still heavy towards the eye-peice/view finder end. I am just concerned that balancing in declination on the G-11 might be a problem.
