re: Mounting and weight

Is it a 2 bolt mount or a 4 bolt mount? Those estimates should be conservative so you should be fine. If it's a 4 bolt mount you might want to get bolts in on the other side of the mount.
True story. I was doing a walk through with a builder and the builder swung the articulating mount around to show the homeowner and the whole thing came out of the wall and landed in his arms.
The dumb arse installer didn't mount into the studs. He used toggle bolts in the drywall and when questioned about it he answered that the toggle bolts "were rated for 80 lbs each". I guess he didn't realize that the drywall the toggle bolts were in isn't rated to bear weight at all.
